Seeing that Peng Dingjie's mood eased, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. [.Com text] However, although Peng Dingjie's mood has improved a lot, Yang Zhen knows that it is difficult for people who have not experienced unforgettable betrayal to understand this feeling.
.My own comfort will not have much effect. It will take time to truly make up for the trauma in his heart.
Yang Zhen believed that Peng Dingjie needed time to heal the trauma in his heart, and in Guo Bingxun's opinion, the best way to recover Guo Bingxun was to divert his attention.
Guo Bingxun opened the map and said to Yang Zhen: "Lao Yang, according to your plan, since Lao Peng has come back, it is time for us to attack. If we stay still, I am afraid we will be trapped in the Yabuli Mountains.
The anti-alliance alliance, which is short of ammunition, cannot last much longer. What are you going to do? Should we directly attack the Yabuli Mountains?"
"The Japanese and puppet troops there have focused their attention on the Resistance Alliance on the mountain. If we attack at this moment, we should be able to catch them off guard. Our attack on Yabuli can not only rescue the trapped Resistance Alliance, but also capture the Japanese transport team.
We replenish ourselves with supplies. Although our training time is not long, it is always live-fire training, and we don’t have much ammunition in our hands."
Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "Lao Peng, Lao Guo, now that the main force of the Anti-Japanese Western Expedition has been defeated, and we are nowhere to be found under the noses of the Japs, where do you think the Japs will focus next? Is it to continue?
Search and eliminate us, or should we focus on the Resistance Alliance in the east who are still holding on? And where is their weak point, the place where their defenses are the most lax?"
As Yang Zhen spoke, he kept sliding his finger on the map. After stopping at a point, he continued without waiting for the two to answer: "The next step of the Japs will definitely be to focus on Weihe, Acheng, and even the mountainous areas of Wuchang.
Continue to clear out the dispersed troops of the Anti-Japanese Alliance."
"Besides, they won't let us go. I have a feeling that after the Japs clear out the mountainous areas in this area, they will probably mobilize heavy troops to carry out a large-scale sweep in the Ning'an and Mudanjiang areas. After the Japs clear out the Wuchang,
After Acheng, Zhuhe, and Weihe, no trace of us was found, so we must expand our attention to the east. That is, the Mudanjiang and Ning'an areas."
"Even now they may have guessed that we should be hiding in the mountains around Ning'an. The Japanese are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart. We attacked their pioneering group at Liudaohezi, but they have not yet crossed the railway.
According to common sense, we can only go east or southeast. It can even be deduced that we are still moving west of Mudanjiang and have not crossed Mudanjiang. The goal of those six cars is too obvious."
"And the most suitable place for us to hide around here is Ning'an, the mountainous area at the junction of the Wuchang. It is a vast and sparsely populated area, and it is located in deep mountains and old forests. We also have a large amount of food seized from Liudaohezi, and we are hiding in
This area at least doesn’t have to worry about food problems until autumn comes.”
"The Japs are not letting us go. The reason why we have nothing to do now is because the anti-alliance troops who suddenly appeared in Weihe, Zhuhe, and Wuchang have attracted their attention. I always have a feeling that the main force of the Japs in Weihe is
The transfer should be related to their next action plan."
"Since I decided to leave the mountain, I have been thinking about the next move of the Japs for the past few days and where their weaknesses are. I feel that the main force of the Japs has now withdrawn to Harbin, Mudanjiang, and Jiamusi areas, and most of the troops they left here have been
If the Anti-Japanese Alliance is attracted to the mountainous areas around Yabuli, then the Japanese defenses in Weihe County will inevitably be lax."
"The Anti-Japanese Alliance there has been defeated. In addition, Weihe County is located on the Binsui Railway and has convenient transportation, which is more suitable for the Japanese to mobilize reinforcements in a short time. Therefore, the Japanese will never think that we will attack their Weihe County. You said we
How about attacking Weihe County and attracting the Japanese and puppet troops from the Yabuli Mountains?"
Guo Bingxun looked at the point Yang Zhen pointed on the map, pondered for a moment and said: "Old Yang, do you mean to surround Wei and save Zhao? Use a feint to attack Weihe County to attract the Japanese and puppet troops in the Yabuli Mountains back to the county. As long as Yabuli
The Japanese and puppet troops in the mountainous area were attracted back to Weihe County, so the Anti-Japanese Alliance forces trapped there could naturally escape."
"It's just that our troops have just barely taken shape, and there is still a big gap in weapons and equipment. We can't even have one rifle per man. Under such circumstances, will it be dangerous to conduct a long-distance raid to attack a county?"
"After all, we are in the first battle. Except for the old brothers from the concentration camp, most of them are new recruits who have never experienced war. It is better to choose a smaller target for this first training. If we go directly to chew hard bones, we will not be able to get rid of them.
If we don't eat good meat, our teeth will break. Once we pretend to attack Weihe County and are stuck by the Japanese and puppet troops in the city, based on our current strength, it will be difficult to persist under the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"Who says I want to feign an attack? I'll just attack. I'll hit the place where the enemy hurts the most. We are short of food and ammunition now, and so is the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Attacking ordinary places simply won't be able to provide us with enough supplies. So I think
If we fight, we will hit Weihe County. If we don’t move, we will give him an earth-shattering blow.”
Regarding Yang Zhen's plan, Guo Bingxun shook his head and said: "Old Yang, I have reservations about your plan. With our current strength, attacking a county where two regular Japanese squadrons are stationed is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone. My
My opinion is still to go straight to Yabuli and attack the Japanese transport team first."
"Lao Guo, most of the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance has been sacrificed or dispersed. A small number of them are trapped in the Yabuli Mountains and may have run out of ammunition and food. They are no longer able to pose even the smallest threat to Weihe County."
"From the Japs' point of view, the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the Hadong area no longer poses a big threat. Coupled with the convenient transportation in Weihe, the Japs' defenses will naturally relax. It should be the right time for us to make a sneak attack on Weihe County."
"Lao Guo, it is not the best way for us to go straight into the Yabuli Mountains to rescue the Anti-Japanese Alliance. The Japanese are eager to completely wipe out the Anti-Japanese Alliance there, so they must strengthen their vigilance. If we go straight into the Yabuli Mountains, it will be difficult to find a stable foothold. Instead of that,
It would be better to take advantage of the opportunity and sneak attack on Weihe County than to confront the Japanese force face to face."
Regarding Yang Zhen's insistence, Guo Bingxun asked Peng Dingjie helplessly: "Lao Peng, you have fought guerrillas with the Japanese for many years in the Anti-Japanese League. You have more experience fighting against the Japanese in this area than we do. What do you think of Lao Yang?"
Sample?"
Peng Dingjie, who had been thinking carefully since Yang Zhen expressed his thoughts, heard Guo Bingxun ask himself, looked at the map and said: "Lao Guo, I feel that Lao Yang's plan is feasible. The Japs must be extremely vigilant in the Yabuli Mountains at this time.
.According to my many years of experience in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, in order to prevent the Anti-Japanese Alliance from breaking out there, the Japanese will definitely adopt the tactics of mutual support, heavy troop concentration, and pulling a net for investigation."
"And if we penetrate directly into the Yabuli Mountains, the terrain will be unfamiliar first, and it is easy to form a situation of waiting for work. Moreover, according to the tactics of the Japanese and puppet troops, we may not be able to quickly capture the fighter opportunities. Even if we seize the fighter opportunities, are we sure of the short-term
Annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops within time?”
"If the war is delayed, we will be in danger of being stuck by the Japanese and puppet troops. Instead, it will help the Japanese and puppet troops to encircle us. Instead of doing this, it is better to go straight into Weihe County. The Japanese have just won a big victory, and the Japanese and puppet troops have just won a big victory.
On the contrary, the vigilance will be relaxed in the Byabli area."
"Moreover, Weihe County is surrounded by mountainous areas, and most of the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops are concentrated in the Yabuli area. Compared with attacking Yabuli, where heavy troops are currently concentrated, our room for maneuver and movement around Weihe County is much larger than the Yabuli area."
"We can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. When the war is unfavorable, we can retreat to the mountainous areas at any time, and we don't have to worry about encountering the Japanese and puppet troops in a short period of time. If necessary, we can also retreat westward to the Zhuhe River."
Hearing that Peng Dingjie agreed with Yang Zhen's opinion, Guo Bingxun hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, although military affairs require dictatorship most of the time, it is also important to be independent when necessary. Since you all insist on fighting reeds,
He County, then I obey."
Now that he had decided to attack Weihe County, Yang Zhen opened the map without any delay and said: "Even if the Japanese set up defenses in Weihe County, their defense focus should be roughly in the northwest and southeast of Weihe County.
direction."
"All four directions are fortified. Even though Weihe County is not big, with only two squadrons of Japs, they don't have that many troops now. Based on the troops they have on hand now, they can only set up key defenses for the time being.
So I plan to cross the Erdao Hailang River to the west, pass through the line of Wei'an Mountain, and then fight through it from the southwest."
"In order to achieve maximum tactical surprise, we always walk through mountainous areas when marching, do not enter any villages in the middle, and try not to have contact with local people. We march by day and by night. We rest hidden in the mountains and forests during the day, and march at night. There are also roads.
If you encounter any common people, take them away and put them back after the battle begins."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said to Peng Dingjie: "Lao Peng, please have all the remaining grains fried into fried rice. Bring five days' worth of dry food to each soldier. And we cannot give up easily here. In the future, we must
As a place to stay for us, we must hide all the supplies that cannot be taken away before leaving. Leave a few reliable people behind and tell them to be careful not to come into contact with strangers. I guess when we start,
The devils should have noticed this."
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the time and said to the two people in front of him: "There is not much time, let's prepare separately. Lao Peng, you go prepare dry food and arrange for the people left behind. Lao Guo, you are checking the weapons and ammunition. In addition to
Except for leaving some weapons and ammunition for the people left behind, take away all the other weapons and ammunition that can be carried. After all, we don’t have much ammunition now. Let’s set off at 17 o’clock in the evening and try to reach the Shetanggou line early tomorrow morning.”
In order to worry that the newly formed team would not be broken up but would be separated due to the night march, Yang Zhen deliberately suppressed the marching speed. But more than a month of intensive training still played a certain role. In addition to crossing the Erdao Hailang River
Apart from a delay due to a frightened pack horse, the march was actually smooth. The troops arrived at the front line of Shetanggou a little earlier than expected.
After all, except for a few areas with relatively developed transportation, such as the current Manchukuo, the main means of transportation for Chinese people in most areas is their feet. The former Japanese soldiers in the army use no-name cars like this even though China is the most well-equipped at this time.
The Central Army did not have much, so it naturally did not have modern mechanized transportation. It was only occasionally possible to get on the train after arriving at the war zone. Most of the time, it mainly relied on walking and marching.
Compared with their experience of marching on foot from Sichuan to the war zone, this mere march of several dozen miles was nothing to them.
Most of the workers who later joined the army were poor farmers before they were caught or deceived into the Northeast. No matter how high the price was for the rich, no one would be deceived into coming to the Northeast for a small amount of rations.
The guns and ammunition they carry with them bring no trouble to these former farmers who are used to carrying hundreds of kilograms of grain and walking dozens of miles away. What's more, a considerable number of them are bare-handed and don't even have rifles.
So although the march was a bit hard, it was nothing to these people.
Looking at the sky, there was still some time, and the physical strength of the troops was not too much, and there was still some surplus. When they arrived at the Shetanggou line, Yang Zhen decided to rush to the Wei'an Mountain line overnight. After arriving at the Wei'an Mountain line, he rested.
Yang Zhen did not expect that it was his decision that caused his painstaking plan to attack Weihe County to be in vain because of an early encounter with the Japanese and puppet troops.
Yang Zhen knew that the front line of Wei'an Mountain was very close to the line of Daguokui Mountain where the Japanese and puppet troops were conducting a large-scale clearing campaign, so he was extremely careful while marching. Several people along the way were transferred because of the Puppet Manchukuo Forest Police Force stationed there.
Go, participate in the clearing of the front line of Daguokui Mountain, and the Puppet Manchukuo Forestry Combined Work Station, which seems extremely empty, is almost like a pile of fat on the meat table to this unit, and has not been touched.
Originally, in Yang Zhen's opinion, although Wei'an Mountain was somewhat close to Daguokui Mountain, which was being heavily encircled and suppressed by the Japanese and puppet troops, Wei'an Mountain was high in the mountains and densely forested, sparsely populated, and there were no Puppet Manchukuo lumberyards around, making it suitable for troops to hide during the day.
Rest and recuperation. So after arriving at the Shetanggou line and discovering that there were two so-called Puppet Manchukuo lumber yards there, Yang Zhen re-selected this place as a resting place.
But when Yang Zhen led his troops to the dense forest at the southeastern foothills of Wei'an Mountain, which was not too far away from Weihe County, and had just entered a state of rest and making final adjustments to ammunition, a dense sound suddenly sounded from the north side of Wei'an Mountain.
Gunshots.
Huang Dali, who was sent out for reconnaissance by Yang Zhen in advance and rushed back shortly after the sound of gunfire, reported breathlessly: "Commander Yang, about five miles away from here in the north of the mountain, there is a group of Japanese and puppet troops chasing a dozen people.
Among the pursuing Japanese and puppet troops were more than 200 puppet Manchukuo forest policemen, more than 100 puppet Manchurian troops and a group of plainclothes soldiers, as well as more than 20 Japanese soldiers."
"Although the dozen or so people being chased ahead have guns in their hands, they don't seem to have many bullets. They can only shoot one or two shots at the most critical moments. Commander, what do you think we should do? We are heading northwest.
Avoid it, or fight this battle and rescue those people?"
After hearing Huang Dali's report, Yang Zhen couldn't help but frown: "Could it be that the Anti-Japanese Alliance forces trapped in the Daguokueizi Mountain area in the Yabuli area have emerged?"
"The dozen or so people being chased must be prominent members of the Resistance Alliance, and there are important figures among them, otherwise the Japanese pursuers wouldn't have pursued them so closely. A dozen or so people sent nearly 400 pursuers."
After just a brief thought, Yang Zhen could definitely conclude from Huang Dali's report on the number of Chinese and Japanese puppet troops that the dozen or so people being chased were not only members of the Resistance Alliance, but also there must be special figures among them. Otherwise, the Japanese would not have made up their minds.
At this time, Weihe and Zhuhe were already empty, so many people were sent to chase more than a dozen people. After making this judgment, Yang Zhen did not hesitate at all, and immediately gave orders to prepare for battle.
For Yang Zhen, no matter whether his guess is correct or not, but from that aspect he has to save himself when the Japanese are chasing the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Although Yang Zhen knows that after this battle, no matter what the outcome is, unless all these Japanese and puppet troops are wiped out in
Here, otherwise my plan to attack Weihe County can only be given up. But if you give up, give up. The Japanese and puppet troops who have already moved closer to you will have to fight no matter from which aspect.
After making up his mind, Yang Zhen immediately drew up an ambush plan according to the terrain and faced Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie, who were sheltering the stragglers from behind. They caught up after hearing the gunshots and said: "Lao Peng, Lao Guo,
The plan has changed. Now about three to four hundred days ago, the puppet troops are chasing more than a dozen rebels and are heading in our direction."
"Judging from the sound of gunfire, they are now less than five miles away from us. Now it seems that it is impossible for us to evacuate. With a force of thousands of people, we cannot hide all their whereabouts at once.
