Chapter 131: Attack on it unprepared
Chapter 131: Attack on it unprepared
Snow Fox's ammunition replenishment has always been the biggest problem, and for tactical reasons, Snow Fox's requirements for weapons and ammunition are also very special. Originally, it was to study the issue of the exchange of weapons and ammunition, but after studying and studying, it turned to tactical changes.
In the end, it was decided that Sun Zheng would go to Dabie Mountain Jinzhai to discuss weapons and ammunition with friends from the four detachments. Xue Ru and Xuehu's people all understood that Gao Jingting had no reason to disagree, light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars were good things.
The national army itself is not enough, and it is impossible to equip it with the New Fourth Army, and those miscellaneous local armies even have very few rifles. Sun Zheng didn't understand, even if Miss is generous, she doesn't need to be so generous, right? This is an exchange, it is the same as giving it away for nothing.
For the CCP army, ordinary generals of the national army also understand that their weapons and ammunition are backward, but they often win battles. Similar to Xue Ru in many tactics, they don't have too many pistol bullets and machine gun bullets.
But there are a large number of guerrillas and local armed forces in North China, and it should be no problem to raise them and supply snow foxes. Originally, these could be obtained by asking the government to spend some money to dredge up the relationship, so Sun Zheng's task was to contact the four detachments of the CCP on the one hand, and on the other hand, contact the quartermaster department of the theater and the directors of various troops, and use money to solve what could be solved with money.
Xue Ru could only be helpless in this regard, he was fighting the war, but he was like a thief. Dai Zong and Lai Changwen resolutely opposed the exchange with the CCP because they were suspected of arming the CCP. Liu Yuanshan also saw that Xue Ru seemed to have a good impression of the CCP, saying that it was an exchange, that is, half for and half for and half for it. Liu Yuanshan didn't say anything about this, he was very steady and a little smart, Miss This is also a relationship, and the two must not be offended. In the end, it was decided that such a matter should not be publicized and handled in a low-key manner.
In the future, Sun Zheng will be responsible for such things, and it will be directly under the command of Miss. After these studies were completed, Liu Yuanshan asked, "Miss, what should we do?" Qinglong Mountain is not a place to stay for a long time, once the devil solves Xuzhou, he will solve us. ”
Xue Ru nodded and said, "The troops will rest for a day from here, and we will attack Chuxian." ”
Lai Changwen was stunned: "Chuxian is the starting point and center of Jinpu Road, and the Japanese army will counterattack frantically." ”
Xue Ru said: "There are not too many devils in Chuxian, the Japanese army only has a half-disabled wing, it is not a problem to capture Chuxian, we need money for the salary and clothes of the independent combat army, and it will enter the summer immediately, but the troops are still winter clothes, Chuxian does not need to stay for a long time, just stay for a few days after the occupation, and then withdraw to Chaoxian after the troops are redressed and replenished, and the devils have no choice, and the snow fox will not stick to a location." ”
This kind of thinking and tactical guidelines, Snow Fox knows from top to bottom, capturing Chuxian is the same as transitioning, getting a sum of money and leaving. With the mobility of more than 800 snow foxes, the devil can only eat ashes in the back.
There is no objection to this, several squadrons and squadrons directly under the brigade headquarters began to prepare dry food, this is also the combat method of Snow Fox, there is basically no logistical drag, you can leave if you want, carry ammunition with you, and prepare dry food for a few days, this is fighting in the country, what is Xue Ru afraid of?
As soon as it got dark the next day, Snow Fox quietly left Qinglongzhai and rushed to Chuxian, which was not far from Chuxian, Xue Ru and they did not go along the road, but avoided the Japanese army between the road and the railway and went straight to Chuxian.
Cang Yongchenzhi, the 6th Wing who returned to Chuxian, reported the situation and waited for him to be dismissed. But there was no order for a long time, which made him very strange. The Japanese army did not send reinforcements to Chuxian, and the division commander ordered the 6th Wing to wait for replenishment.
In fact, the Japanese army is attacking Chaoxian and Hanshan, preparing to occupy Hefei, and has no time to take care of the snow fox. The direction of Xuzhou and Hefei are fighting fiercely. Since the snow fox is so strong in combat, it is only necessary to ensure the safety of the railway first, and then clean up this cunning Chinese woman when there is time.
Neither the division commander nor the commander of the Japanese army co-commander expected that a brigade of seven or eight hundred people would dare to attack the county town occupied by the Japanese army, or the county town along the railway.
From the mountains and forests, through the daytime lurking, the night march, the unaware Snow Fox Brigade appeared on the outskirts of Chu County, the troops stopped in a forest, and Xue Ru had to wait for Wei Ming's reconnaissance report.
It's been several days, and there is no news from the reconnaissance team, and it is not known what the situation is. But the snow fox had to take advantage of the night operation, so the troops did not stop and advanced towards Chuxian.
Xue Ru's troops had just passed Shahe Town, and when the periphery was still more than ten miles away from Chu County, Wei Ming's reconnaissance team came up to meet them. Xue Ru was very strange, seeing that Wei Ming's face was not very good, he hurriedly ordered the troops to stop.
Wei Ming said: "Miss Report, the situation has changed, when the 6th Wing of the Japanese Army attacked Qinglongzhai, the 13th Wing of the 11th Brigade of the 6th Division crossed the Yangtze River into Chuxian, and attacked Hanshan and Chaoxian at the same time, and has occupied Chaoxian and Hanshan today. ”
Xue Ru was taken aback: "Why didn't you report it?" ”
Wei Ming said with some embarrassment: "We only have one radio, and it is out of order, it can't be used, I have sent someone back to report, but we have not received an order from the brigade, we have to follow the devil and reconnoiter the situation in Chaoxian and Hanshan, it seems that the devil intends to attack and Fei." ”
Xue Ru pondered, she had long known that it was extremely dangerous to manually transmit information, and it was easy to go wrong by using people to transmit information from the areas occupied by the Japanese army. Accidents can make it too late for information to reach the location. Now there is still a problem, I haven't received a report on my side, and I don't know what happened in Chao County, which is a disadvantage of independent operations, and I can't share battlefield intelligence.
The Japanese army occupied Chaoxian and Hanshan and prepared to attack Hefei, but they didn't know it. At this time, I somewhat understood why such an inexplicable telegram came from the first war zone, it turned out that the Japanese army attacked Chaoxian and Hanshan, and they knew, but why didn't they explain it to themselves?
In fact, Xue Ru was blaming others, she pulled the Snow Fox Brigade out alone, and no one reported it at all, and her dissatisfaction with Wu Yuzhao, along with the dissatisfaction with the entire national government, made her start to act willfully and want to fight independently.
In fact, the first and fifth theaters can clearly see that for these big people, a small guerrilla force that is disobedient really cannot arouse their interest.
Xue Yue was commanding the Eastern Henan Corps against the 14th Division, and the situation was not optimistic, so how could he be in the mood to care about other issues. Cheng Qian received a report that the Snow Fox Brigade eliminated the Japanese army attacking Qinglongzhai and blew up Jinpu Road.
Only then did she send a telegram in the name of the war zone, telling her to continue to sabotage the Jinpu Road, contain the Japanese army's movements, and cooperate with the Xuzhou operation. Xue Ru They have been fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, the 3rd and 9th Theaters know about them, and the 5th and 1st Theaters, which have been fighting in the north, do not know. Besides, Xue Ru didn't take the matter of political influence to heart, so Cheng Qian and Li Zongren didn't pay much attention to this Snow Fox Brigade.
Wu Yuzhao's hand made Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi very passive, Wu Yuzhao was sent by Xue Yue and them to enter the Snow Fox Brigade, but in the end they split the other people's troops. squeezed out Xue Ru and lost the leadership of the troops, so that Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi didn't know what to say, so Song Xilian, who had a good relationship with Xue Ru, sent a telegram and asked her to come to the 71st Army as deputy chief of staff.
But Xue Ru didn't reply at all, and there was no news, no one could do anything about it, and the battle situation was very tense. The Japanese army attacked Xuzhou and Shangqiu from three directions: southern Lu, northern Lubei and northern Jiangsu.
Mengcheng and Yongcheng were lost, the 14th Division was encircled and annihilated, the battle failed, Xuzhou was already very dangerous, and the 400,000 troops of the national army were in danger of being surrounded.
Without battlefield intelligence sharing, Xue Ru relied on Wei Ming and one of their reconnaissance teams, once the situation was not transmitted in time, such a situation would occur, and how could it be comprehensive and detailed if it relied on dozens of people to understand the situation.
Xue Ru didn't have time to think about all this, not because of anything else, the Japanese army had heavy troops in Chuxian, Yangzhou and Nantong, and it was impossible for Xue Ru to stop in Chuxian for a long time. Originally, it was thought that the 6th Wing would be defeated and defeated at Qinglong Mountain, occupy Chuxian County, and then retreat to Chaoxian and Hanshan areas.
But the 6th Wing of the 13th Division occupied Chao County, the 47th Wing occupied Hanshan, and took Chu County by itself, there will be nowhere to escape, and as soon as the Japanese army returns, Snow Fox will be surrounded in Chu County. That is the hub of Jinpu Road, and the Japanese army will never ignore it, and Xue Ru will fall into a desperate situation.
According to Wei Ming's report, Chuxian did not have many troops, only more than 1,000 people returned from Cangyong Chenzhi, and then there were 750 members of the Chuxian Military Police Brigade and more than 100 people from a railway garrison, and the total strength was only 2,000 people.
However, after defeating Chuxian, Snow Fox's ammunition will not be able to support large-scale operations, and once the devils surround it, Xue Ru will be wiped out.
In the process of advancing and preparing, the entire brigade that attacked at dawn stopped, the three squadron leaders and several main personnel were concentrated, everyone did not speak, whether Chuxian would fight or not, where to retreat if it did not fight, and it was not a way for seven or eight hundred people to stop here. This time Xue Ru was embarrassed, she paced back and forth on the ground, Liu Yuanshan and they all looked at Xue Ru. Dai Zong whispered to Wei Ming: "For more than a day, why don't you send a second person to deliver the letter?" ”
Wei Ming was also very aggrieved: "I don't know that the information hasn't been conveyed, otherwise I would have gone in person." ”
Liu Yuanshan also said: "You are still stubborn, you are just scouting Chu County, and if you find that the situation is wrong, you should come back immediately to report the situation, not to mention the damage to the radio station." ”
Wei Ming was also anxious: "Captain Liu, I went outside to reconnoitre, but I just knew that the devils were attacking Chaoxian and Hanshan, and I didn't know anything, how would I report when I came back?" Besides, how did I know that Xu Yuanquan, a bastard, had so many troops, and he actually watched Chaoxian lose and did not reinforce him. Wu Yuzhao incorporated all the security forces, and there were no troops to guard the two counties at all. ”
"Don't make any noise" Xue Ru waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you for this, it's actually my fault, no wonder Wei Ming and them." ”
As soon as Lai Changwen opened his mouth, Xue Ru said: "If there is any mistake, there is time to summarize it, there is not much time left until dawn, we must act quickly." ”
Liu Yuanshan asked: "Is Chuxian still fighting?" ”
Xue Ru nodded: "Fight, why don't you fight, act according to the original plan, but change it, after the troops enter the city, it is not to eliminate the devils, but to drive them together and trap the devils, the logistics squadron and the directly subordinate brigade headquarters and the squadrons have completed the collection of money and property, prepared vehicles to load weapons and ammunition into the vehicles, and the troops retreated to Chaoxian." ”
Lai Changwen said: "Isn't Chao County occupied by the 13th Wing? ”
Xue Ru said: "Yes, we are going to counterattack behind the devils, I see if they attack Hefei or come back to protect themselves." Liu Quan sent a report to the First War Zone that the Snow Fox Brigade was preparing to attack the 6th Division in Hanshan, Chaoxian County, and asked the Hefei Tenth Army to cooperate with the counteroffensive. ”
Xue Ru found that it was too dangerous for him to fight blindly like this, and the best way was to keep in touch with the national army, how to say that he was also the Central Army of the National Revolutionary Army, at least he could get battlefield intelligence support. I don't expect them to give me anything, I just don't listen to their commands, and I believe that Cheng Qian can't do anything about himself. If necessary, they can also find a place to rest and recuperate, after all, the troops cannot fight continuously.
I quickly thought of this in my mind, so I said that I didn't complain about Wei Ming and them, because I took it for granted. At this time, Xue Ru deeply understood why the CCP was able to let go of its hatred and unite with the Kuomintang to resist the war. If not, I am afraid that the CCP will be hit double by the Japanese and the Kuomintang. In this way, it is only an enemy to face the devil.
Then I can't do this, and the snow fox is not so ambitious, I want to govern China, whether Chiang Kai-shek or Yan'an will not be my enemy, there are two allies who can fight against the devil, and quickly make this decision in my head, that is, to fight Chuxian, this time can not be low-key, from the future soldiers to supplement the political status needs political influence, so Chuxian must fight, and at the same time attack the rear of the Japanese army, contain them, can not attack Hefei, whether it wins or not, the snow fox will be famous, After all, he will attack Chuxian by himself.
After making this decision, Liu Yuanshan and Lai Changwen did not object, because how to fight and where to fight has always been formulated by Xue Ru, and since she said that she would fight like this, it would be fought like this.
The original plan was to eliminate the devils in Chu County, at least expel them from Chu County, Xue Ru They could rest in Chu County for a few days before withdrawing, but Chao County Hanshan was occupied, and there was no way to retreat from the battle, so it must be fast.
On the one hand, Xue Ru needs to solve the military expenses of the Snow Fox Brigade by attacking the county seat, and on the other hand, he needs political influence, so he does not necessarily have to occupy Chuxian County and attack it to achieve his goal. She made temporary adjustments and reported the situation to the theater command.
Three squadrons and two directly subordinate teams, the brigade headquarters was divided into three, using the dark night to approach Chuxian County, at this time it was not long before dawn, there were still 1,800 meters away from the direction of the city gate, the three squadrons on the side of the highway were hidden, each squadron sent a team to change into the clothes of the devil, waiting for the dawn, Xiao Yong's first squadron was in the east, at this time his other squadron by Guo Yongcai changed into Japanese military clothes, staring at the city gate in the distance.
The day was completely bright, it was just the middle of April, not yet May, but the weather was already hot, the snow fox was still in winter clothes, and the soldiers were uncomfortable, but no one dared to move, hiding in the lowly bushes and grass. Guo Yongcai stood up and waved his hand, and his squad of fifty people appeared on the road, swaggering towards the city gate, the sun flag on the bayonet swayed back and forth, and what he didn't know was a team of Japanese soldiers.
The city gate has been opened, there are people out of the city and people entering the city, two Japanese soldiers and some traitor security teams standing guard, and the few devils on the city wall are also very lazy. Of course, in broad daylight, there was no report that there was a branch army around, what were they afraid of, and the surroundings were calm.
The devil standing guard looked at a group of imperial troops walking in the distance, and didn't pay attention, who knows where it came from. The people in front of the city gate were very afraid, so they avoided these devils and let them enter the city. Guo Yongcai and the others were wearing the clothes of the captured devils, and the blood of the killed Japanese soldiers was on them, and those who didn't know thought that this team of devils had just finished the war.
Came to the city gate, because no one knew anyone, of course the devil had to interrogate and check the documents, Guo Yongcai didn't speak, reached out and took out a military ID card from his coat pocket and handed it over, this devil took it, and wanted to compare it with the photo above, he just raised his head, and what he saw was a snowy bayonet, this is already under the city gate, and the devil standing guard on the city wall can't see it, and the two sentries can't think of it, these imperial soldiers are not their own people, they are prepared to kill, and the two sentries become corpses.
The dozen or so security team traitors who followed the devils didn't understand what was going on, how did the imperial army kill the imperial army? At this stunned time, more than 50 people surrounded more than a dozen traitors from the security team, and for a while, they all knocked them unconscious, and some of them could not wake up, Guo Yongcai didn't care, it was good not to kill them, but they were all smashed on the head.
This accident caused the surrounding people who were about to enter the city to scream, attracting the attention of the devils on the wall, but they didn't know what the situation was, so they sent someone down to take a look.
There was no research, Guo Yongcai and the others saw that the devil was a burst of bayonets, along the Yongdao, and killed on the city wall. There is only a squad of devils on the wall, and they pay attention to the outside of the city, not the inside of the city.
When Guo Yongcai left four soldiers at the city gate, the others all rushed to the wall, which was too unexpected, which was what Xue Ru said, which made the devil unexpected. This kind of blatant daytime action, indeed some of the devils do not know, the city gate seized very smoothly, the devils are not slow to react, when the two sides fired, Xiao Yong, who was holding a telescope in the distance, shouted: "Charge, hurry, kill into the city." "This distance can't even be used for ten minutes, the top of the city gate has been controlled by Guo Yongcai, and the machine gun has been transferred to the city.
Seeing Xiao Yong and Liu Yuanshan as soon as they rushed in, Guo Yongcai shouted: "Close the city gate." The two gates were closed, and at this time there were already devil soldiers rushing over on the street, and the gunshots at the city gate alarmed the devils inside, and the head of the Chuxian Military Police Brigade, Hatoyama Hachiro, didn't know what was going on, and Kuraga Tatsuji Osa, who had just fled back to the city, was waiting for the 3rd Division's handling advice. A wing came back with more than 1,000 people, and most of them were baggage soldiers and artillerymen. The elite of the infantry was all lost, and there was little hope for him.
Several times he raised his sword and wanted to commit suicide, but he didn't dare, he didn't know what to do with the divisional headquarters, and the 3rd Division seemed to be going to be transferred to other places to fight, so he had to wait. They did not participate in the Chuxian guards, they were field divisions, and guarding the place was the business of the gendarmerie.
But after a short time, he heard gunshots and explosions in the city, and the soldiers ran in: "Report to Dazuo, the Chinese army has entered the city." ”
Cang Yongchenzhi was taken aback, this was really to see that he was a bully, and hurriedly asked, "What troops?" How many people? ”
The soldier didn't know, but he still said: "I don't know how much, their costume is the Snow Fox Brigade." ”
"Snow fox again?" Kurayong Chenzhi almost fainted, did he see that he was a bully? Hatoyama Shaozuo, this stupid person, how could he let the snow fox attack the city, he came just in time, this is Chuxian County, if the snow fox is eliminated here, then he will not be able to make up for it? will not be held accountable. This gave him hope: "Order, all troops gather to meet the Snow Fox Brigade." ”
There are only more than 1,000 people left in the 6th Wing of the Japanese Army, and there are only 1,000 Snow Foxes. Sure enough, the snow fox doesn't stick to Qinglong Village, do they want to occupy Chuxian? It just so happens that there is also a gendarmerie brigade here.
How can two thousand people destroy the snow fox, Cangyong Chenzhi Dazuo still doesn't understand, the failure of Qinglongzhai is that the individual soldiers are not as good as others in terms of tactics, and it is not a careless thing, as long as the snow fox is approaching, the devil basically has no possibility of victory.
Field divisions and regiments with strong combat effectiveness are no opponents, not to mention second-rate soldiers and gendarmerie brigades, whose combat effectiveness is probably not as good as those logistical auxiliary arms of field divisions and regiments.
Fighting in the streets with Snow Fox, that is, looking for death, not to mention that Xue Ru is attacking from three sides, the devil is defenseless is defenseless, and the three sides almost kill into the city at the same time, advancing to the middle, the gendarmerie is a guard force, of course, it is divided into troops to guard all sides, the troops are scattered, in every aspect, similar to Snow Fox's people, they were quickly defeated and fled backwards. Originally, one side of the city gate was left behind, so that the devils could escape, so that they could quickly control Chuxian, but the captain of the devil brigade, Hatoyama Hachiro, did not escape, but retreated to the middle, because he knew that there was also a remnant of the 6th Wing here.
Sure enough, the soldiers of the 6th Wing, who had just assembled, met the defeated retreat first, and less than half of the gendarmerie. When the devils converged, the snow fox did not attack, but immediately seized the commanding heights around it, used snipers to stop the devils from rushing out, and surrounded the people of Kuranaga Tatsuharu and Hatoyama Hachiro here.
The three squadrons adjusted their strength and sniped with cold guns, and the others began to carry out a frenzied plundering of Chuxian.
