The map Wang Shuhuai brought marked the current locations of the various units of the Japanese independent mixed 11th brigade, as well as their corresponding numbers after they disguised themselves as Huang Xiejun.
Li Qiulin took out a money order worth 20,000 yuan, handed it to Wang Shuhuai, and said: "Our captain asked me to say hello to you and your teacher Yan. This money is a small kindness from him, so please accept it."
Wang Shuhuai was not polite, put away Dayang, and said: "On the back of the drawing I gave you, there is a way to contact the radio station. If anything happens, you can keep in touch with me at any time."
He looked over at the truck and saw that everything had been unloaded, so he said to Li Qiulin: "Brother, I will take the first step. Captain Li, I wish you success immediately!"
After saying that, he got into the car and left with the truck.
Li Qiulin and the special forces team members all put on the uniforms of the Fourth Division of Huang Xiejun sent by Wang Shuhuai. Following the markings on the map, they left the road and entered the cornfield. Based on the intelligence provided by Wang Shuhuai, they launched an operation.
Sun Desheng and his cavalry brigade did not follow Li Yunlong and others this time. According to the orders of Wang Limin and Zhao Gang, the cavalry brigade and the Guancheng County Guard Regiment formed a rapid mobile force as the anti-mopping campaign reserve team of the Mawushan Military Division.
Wang Chengzhu also stayed in the base area and distributed the artillery of his artillery brigade to the various units participating in the war in the base area. He himself led the military division guard battalion, independent brigade engineering battalion, Guancheng County brigade and Ping'an County brigade, responsible for defending Wan
City, county and airports outside the city.
As the Zheng Committee of the military division, Zhao Gang is under great pressure this time. Although he has fought many battles and can be regarded as an excellent commander, this time he has to take charge of defending the Mawushan base area. Under Xu Dalong and Li Yunlong
Before returning, he will make the final decision on the security of the entire Mawushan base area.
He was a little nervous, and coupled with his rigorous personality, he was worried about many things and had to ask about every detail. Therefore, he was so tired that he could not rest for more than four hours a day.
As the military commander who stayed behind in the Mawushan base area, Wang Limin, commander of the independent brigade, also felt deeply responsible. This time the Japanese and puppet troops launched a large-scale attack on the Mashan base area, and he was also responsible for the military. Under the huge pressure, he was also afraid of any possibility.
He was negligent. He kept holding various meetings, assigning tasks, and even went to inspect them himself.
While the base area was actively preparing for war, Yoshio Shinozuka in Taiyuan City was also a little nervous.
What he is most worried about now is that Xu Dalong will see through his plan to subvert the truth and take precautions in advance. He is also worried that Xu Dalong will see through his other conspiracy to hide the truth.
Hebei SJZ.
That night, the streets were filled with the sound of rumbling vehicles and the neat and heavy footsteps of large groups of people. Liu Minsheng, an underground party traffic officer who lived near the south gate of the city, was awakened by the movement outside. After getting dressed, he went
When I came to the entrance of the alley to observe, I saw a large number of Japanese troops passing by on the street and heading towards the south gate of the city.
In order to find out the real movements of the Japanese army, he went out from the other end of the alley, made a big circle, and came to the south gate of the city. When he saw the Japanese army leaving the city, he thought this situation was very important, so he came to another street.
, found a public phone booth, dialed the number of the underground party liaison station, and reported the situation of the Japanese troops leaving the city to their superiors.
Not long ago, the underground party intelligence station of SJZ had heard some news that the Japanese army was about to launch a large-scale attack on the base area of the Eighth Route Army Jinan Military Region. Now the Japanese army left the south gate of the city overnight and headed in the direction of Yuanshi and Zanhuang, where the Jinan Military Region is located.
This proves that the Japanese army really has the intention to attack the anti-Japanese base area of Jinan Military Region.
The underground party intelligence station sent a telegram to report to the higher-level party organization, and the higher-level party organization notified the Eighth Route Army Jinan Military Region to prepare for counter-mopping up.
After the Japanese army left SJZ, they drove more than ten kilometers south. The leading force, about an infantry brigade, pulled away and continued to drive south, but the main force turned to the west.
The Japanese army marched all night and passed Jingxing Pass at dawn and entered the Shanxi border.
After receiving the notification from their superiors, the underground party organizations in Yuanshi, Zanhuang and other places also sent people to monitor the actions of the Japanese army. As a result, they discovered the Japanese marching brigade. In the darkness, they could not count how many people there were, but they were sure
A large group of Japanese troops were approaching the base area of the Southern Hebei Military Region.
The Eighth Route Army in the Jinan Military District mobilized urgently and made preparations for counter-mopping up. The Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was not aware of the actions of the Japanese 8th Division. The anti-mopping up battle in the Mawushan Military District was still going on according to the original combat deployment.
In order to hide their true combat intentions, the Japanese army first launched an attack on the Taihang Mountain base area. The Eighth Route Army units in the Taiyue Military Region and the Luliang Military Region launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army.
At the same time, the Japanese 112th Division launched a feint attack against the Guo Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Japanese 109th Division launched a feint attack against the Shanxi-Sui Army. For a while, the battle was very lively on the land of Shanxi.
After sufficient preparations, the Japanese army finally launched an attack on the Mawushan base area.
That morning, the Japanese 112th Division first launched an attack on Chu Yunfei's headquarters of the 358th Brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army, which was stationed in Xinhe County, Dongxiang County and Juma County, and launched a counter-mopping campaign in the Mawushan base area.
The beginning of the battle.
Behind the 358th brigade defense area is Guancheng County, the core of the Mawu Mountain base area.
After the battle started, Guancheng County organized a transportation team to send a large amount of ammunition to Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade, and also sent a medical team to help them treat the wounded. Zhao Gang himself also went to the headquarters of the 358th Brigade to learn about it.
Case.
Chu Yunfei told Zhao Gang that the 358th Brigade would definitely hold its position and would never allow troops from the Japanese 112th Division to enter the Mawushan base area.
In the direction of Licheng, the Japanese 109th Division appeared in front of the Eighth Route Army's defensive position at night. Lin Husheng, a regiment of the New 1st Brigade that held the position, led the Licheng County Security Regiment and launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army.
Li Qiulin and others disguised themselves as troops from the 4th Division of the Huang Xie Army and monitored the Japanese independent mixed 11th Brigade, which was also disguised as troops from the 4th Division of the Huang Xie Army. When they discovered that the Japanese army was advancing towards Mawu Mountain in a concealed manner, they sent Xu Dalong a message.
Got the telegram.
Prior to this, under the command of Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong led seven regiments of the Eighth Route Army, Kong Jie led four regiments, Ding Wei led three regiments, Commander Cheng led three regiments, and the Artillery Regiment directly under the Taiyue Military Region
, the Mawushan Guerrilla Tank Brigade also adopted the method of traveling by day and night to enter the defense area of the 4th Division of the Huang Xie Army.
According to Xu Dalong's prior request, Yan Guiwu issued an order to the troops of the 4th Division to evacuate the area where the Eighth Route Army was about to pass. With Yan Guiwu's help, so many troops were mobilized, but the Japanese army did not receive the slightest news.
The 11th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army attacked in the southwest direction. Their mission was to occupy Yangcheng County and cut off the connection between the Eighth Route Army and the base area in the direction of Licheng.
The 32nd garrison division attacked and advanced on the left flank of the independent mixed brigade and the 11th independent mixed brigade to ensure the safety of the flank of the 11th independent mixed brigade.
The 11th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army disguised itself as Huang Xiejun and entered the Mawushan base area. It was first blocked by the Yangcheng County brigade. They were no match for the Japanese army. They did not hold out for long before they were forced to retreat.
The Japanese army advanced very quickly, and soon they reached the city walls of Yangcheng County, where they were blocked by the Yangcheng County garrison. The Yangcheng County brigade also withdrew here at this time, and they and the Yangcheng County garrison
Together, they launched a tenacious blockade against the Japanese army.
This time they relied on the trenches to fight to the death. The Japanese launched three consecutive attacks, but failed to break through the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions.
Seeing that it was difficult to break through the front, the brigade commander of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade ordered a reinforced infantry brigade to outflank the left wing.
Sato, the captain of the Japanese army who was responsible for the outflank mission, was leading the troops on a rapid march when they were suddenly blocked by the Eighth Route Army. Sato originally thought that he had encountered a small group of the Eighth Route Army again, and was determined to defeat this Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time, so he launched a direct attack on the Eighth Route Army.
attacked violently.
However, he soon discovered that this Eighth Route Army was well-equipped and extremely powerful, far exceeding the county brigade and guard regiment they had just encountered. Not only that, the enemies in front of him were not a small force, but more and more of them.
There were even armored units.
According to the intelligence provided by his superiors, there should not be a large group of Eighth Route Army troops here. Sato was surprised by the sudden situation, and he quickly reported the situation to the brigade commander.
Just after the telegram was sent and no response was received, Sato discovered that not only a large group of Eighth Route Army troops appeared in the direction they were heading, but also large groups of Eighth Route Army troops appeared on the other three sides. They had been surrounded.
The Eighth Route Army surrounding them was the troops from the Mawushan Military Division led by Li Yunlong. Their mission was to intersect between the Japanese 11th Independent Mixed Brigade and the Japanese 32nd Garrison Division to cut off the communication between them.
The troops were marching in a hurry and happened to encounter the Sato Brigade who was coming to make a roundabout way. Li Yunlong was good at catching fighter opportunities and commanded the troops to surround the Sato Brigade.
The Japanese brigade commander received the telegram from the Sato Brigade and felt that something was not good. He immediately ordered the Sato Brigade to move closer to the main force of the brigade. At the same time, he also led the main force of the brigade to meet the Sato Brigade.
At the same time, he sent a telegram to the 32nd garrison division, requesting them to rescue Sato's brigade.
When the 11th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army was moving closer to Sato's brigade, they found that large groups of the Eighth Route Army appeared on their left and right wings and behind them. The Eighth Route Army had a very large force and well-equipped weapons and equipment. It was obviously the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
The brigade has been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.
Seeing the critical situation, the commander of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade hurriedly ordered the troops to organize defense on the spot and reported the situation here to the First Army Headquarters.
It was the troops led by Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Commander Cheng who came to besiege the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade. According to the combat plan formulated by Xu Dalong, in this anti-mopping operation, they first had to eat up the Japanese independent mixed 11th Brigade.
11 brigade.
Taiyuan City First Army Headquarters.
When Yoshio Shinozuka received the telegram from the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade, he was shocked and hurriedly checked the map.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became, his face became gloomy, and he stood there without saying a word.
The chief of staff stood aside and looked at Yoshio Shinozuka worriedly. He was very worried about Yoshio Shinozuka's health because Xu Dalong was so angry that Yoshio Shinozuka vomited snow.
Seeing that his carefully planned conspiracy was about to go bankrupt again this time, he was very worried that Yoshio Shinozuka would not be able to hold on and collapse.
After thinking for a while, the chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy may not have seen through our army's intentions. The Eighth Route Army is good at concentrating its forces to attack one point, and it is common for them to besiege the independent 11th Brigade.
Even if they see through our plan, it's not necessarily a bad thing. The plan you made is not just about substituting the pillars, but also hiding something from the truth. The Eighth Route Army should be very proud of themselves if they see through our first step of the plan, and they won't even think that we still have something to do.
Later move.
This will further increase the suddenness of the Eighth Division's attack. As long as the Eighth Division can capture Wanwancheng County in one fell swoop and destroy Xu Dalong's headquarters, the Eighth Route Army entrenched in the Mawu Mountain area will lose their foothold.
Then your plan is complete."
The chief of staff's words were very heartwarming. Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said, "That's good. The main force of the Eighth Route Army is besieging the 11th independent mixed brigade, which indeed provides a favorable opportunity for the Eighth Division.
Now I order the 11th independent mixed brigade to organize defense on the spot, the 32nd garrison division to provide full rescue, and the 112th division, 11th 3rd division, 109th division, and 110th regiment to launch an attack across the board.
The Eighth Division should speed up its march, do not get entangled with the small groups of enemy troops encountered along the way, and go all out to capture Wancheng County and destroy the command structure of Xu Dalong's headquarters, especially the enemy's airport there."
"Hai." The chief of staff responded and immediately went to convey the order.
The 11th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army was surrounded in a hilly area with Wangjiacun as the core. It urgently built epidemic prevention fortifications to snipe the Eighth Route Army's attack.
Since the Japanese army occupied better terrain, Commanders Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Cheng commanded their respective troops and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army. Although they caused great damage to the Japanese army, they were not able to break through the Japanese army's defensive positions.
.
Seeing that the troops suffered heavy casualties during the daytime attack, they decided to temporarily stop the attack and prepare to use night attacks to break through the enemy's defensive positions at night.
Xu Dalong received a telegram from the front line, saying that the 11th Japanese independent mixed brigade had been divided and surrounded. He was very happy and sent a telegram to Li Qiulin, asking him to take action according to the original plan.
The special forces led by Li Qiulin disguised themselves as members of the Huang Xiejun 4th Division and followed the actions of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade. Now they were also surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. They carefully avoided the large Japanese troops also disguised as Huang Xiejun and hid in the
