Starting Coin!
On the night of April 7th, the Japanese Sixth Army moved south along the Tao-Ang railway and highway. Liu Yimin led the main force of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance to leave Siping and headed west at Gongzhuling to meet the Japanese Sixth Army. This scene seemed a bit strange.
It's a bit unbelievable. However, the cadres and soldiers of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army don't think so. They have done this kind of thing so much that they are used to it.
Liu Yimin led the main force to fight against the Japanese Sixth Army moving south from Ang Ang River. The little devils were not idle either. According to the Kwantung Army's plan, the North China Front Army's troops to reinforce the Kwantung Army began to move.
Shi Jianfei is now the commander of the Tenth Column Reconnaissance Battalion. After the Tenth Column captured the front line of Shanhaiguan, Shi Jianfei led the reconnaissance battalion in separate groups to scout the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe to the north and the movements of the North China Front to the west.
On the night of April 7, Shi Jianfei and a reconnaissance platoon camped at Xiaoli Village beside the Beining railway line on the back side of Qinhuangdao.
This area has now become a guerrilla zone. Because our army captured Shanhaiguan, the Japanese and puppet troops in Qinhuangdao were in panic all day long. They were afraid that our army would take advantage of the situation to capture Qinhuangdao and huddled motionless in the city, just like the giant sea turtles that came ashore to bask in the sun in the Bohai Bay in summer.
.The troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Jireliao Military Region operating in this area have become extremely active. Backed by the main force of our army, they continue to expand their base areas and guerrilla areas and encroach on the Japanese and puppet-occupied areas.
At dawn, Shi Jianfei was woken up by a sentry who reported that Japanese soldiers had been spotted on the road!
Shi Jianfei trembled, pulled out the rifle from under the pillow, rubbed it against his thigh, and the nose of the machine opened. Then he grabbed the August 1 automatic rifle placed on the kang, jumped out of the room, and whispered to the troops.
Gather together, then follow the sentry to the room.
It was the darkest time before dawn. He couldn't see anything clearly. He could only see shadowy figures on the road that seemed to be moving. Shi Jianfei thought that it was probably the Japs' search troops who had come out to cause chaos again. Then he thought again, no, ten million
Don't worry, the Japanese army has arrived!
After getting out of the room, Shi Jianfei and the accompanying reconnaissance platoon ran towards the road for closer observation.
This Shi Jianfei was really full of courage. With only one platoon, he dared to attack the Japanese. As a result, when he was approaching the road, Shi Jianfei heard the low sound of horse hoofbeats, and immediately understood that the Japanese were trying to achieve a sneak attack.
The purpose is not to even turn on the flashlight, and would rather sacrifice speed than expose the target.
Shi Jianfei was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, not the battalion commander of the blocking force. His mission was to detect the enemy's situation. No, Shi Jianfei immediately ordered the troops to hide. He first found out the enemy's situation.
Coming up the road were the vanguard troops of the Japanese North China Front attacking Shanhaiguan, mixed into the search troops of the First Brigade.
The 1st, 5th and 7th mixed ** mixed brigades of the North China Front are all first-class ** mixed brigades with more than 8,000 people. They are highly mechanized and undertake field missions. They are no different from the Japanese army.
The ** mixed brigade of about 5,000 people later formed cannot be compared.
Shi Jianfei crawled into a trench about 300 meters away from the road, staring unblinkingly at the dark-shadowed Japanese search team getting closer and closer on the road, calculating quickly in his mind, and he worked it out in a moment.
Probably, he turned to the reconnaissance platoon leader next to him and whispered: "This is not a search team like little Japs, but a fully-organized cavalry search squadron. Immediately return to the village to report to Commander Chen and found the Japs cavalry search team. Squadron
Based on the scale, it is judged that a large-scale Japanese attack has begun."
The platoon leader and the radio operator went to Xiaoli Village, but Shi Jianfei and his soldiers still crawled motionless in the trench and continued their reconnaissance.
About half an hour after the Little Japanese Cavalry search team arrived, a little light appeared on the road, looking from a distance like a will-o'-the-wisp. Shi Jianfei thought to himself: "Here we come!"
At this time, the darkness of dawn had begun to slowly fade away, and Shi Jianfei could already hold up the telescope and observe with great effort. This observation surprised him, but not only on the highway, but also on the railway, there were armored patrol cars, and there seemed to be more behind them.
There is an armored train. Needless to say, the Japs will transport troops through the train. From this point of view, the Japs have mobilized heavy troops to attack the front line of Shanhaiguan.
Shi Jianfei's judgment was correct. When he returned to Xiaolizhuang and reported to Chen Shiqu again, the Japanese car convoy had already appeared on the road. This made it clear that the Japanese army transported troops by railways and roads.
They wanted to catch our army off guard.
When a glimmer of morning light appeared on the horizon, a group of Japanese planes passed through the sky, heading towards Shanhaiguan. Shi Jianfei knew that the real test for our troops on the front line of Shanhaiguan had begun.
Shi Jianfei and the others did not retreat. Instead, they took off the Eighth Route Army uniforms of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army, wrapped them up, hid them in the kang hole of the landlord's house in Xiaoli Village, put on Japanese military uniforms, and continued to hide in Xiaoli Village, preparing to
Move behind enemy lines for reconnaissance.
Chen Shiqu was woken up by a guard while he was sleeping. He opened his eyes and asked what was going on. The guard said that there was an urgent enemy situation and that the political commissars and others were waiting!
Chen Shiqu hurriedly got up from the kang, put on his clothes, got up and left the bedroom. When he got to the yard, political commissar Wang Bingsan and the new chief of staff of the Tenth Column Guo Huaruo were already waiting. Wang Bingsan came up and said: "Old Chen, reconnaissance battalion commander Shi Jianfei is here."
I received a telegram and found a cavalry search team organized by the Japanese squadron. I judged that a large-scale Japanese attack had begun."
Chen Shiqu didn't even read the telegram. He opened his mouth and said, "Okay! Finally, the little Jaap is here. If *** doesn't come, I, Chen Shiqu, will no longer be a soldier, but will become a sneaky lazy guy!"
After saying that, Chen Shiqu walked to the war room of the Tenth Column Headquarters. Then he took the telegram from Wang Bingsan and read it carefully. Then he shouted to the staff officer on duty: "Staff Li, please inform all the troops to enter."
Fighting status."
Here, Staff Officer Li was sending a telegram and making a phone call. Shi Jianfei's second telegram came. The report found that the Japanese army used railways to transport troops, led by armored patrol cars and armored trains; a large convoy of Japanese troops appeared on the highway.
Wang Bingsan said worriedly: "Old Chen, I'm afraid this battle is going to be very tragic. Report it to General Manager Liu immediately and inform Commander Liu of the Second Column. He is in charge of the war in western Liaoning. He must make preparations in advance. Reinforce our column if necessary."
."
Chen Shiqu has a heroic spirit, but he comes from a family of engineers and soldiers, and his formation is actually very strict. He can tell at a glance that the little devil has this posture. Today's battle will be difficult. Fortunately, during this period, the fortifications were repaired, and Shanhaiguan was on the front line.
The fortifications of each army cannot be said to be impregnable, but it is absolutely true to say that they are relatively strong. It is a pity that the Japs did not give time, and the tunnel project was only partially completed and there was no time to complete it. Otherwise, no matter how fierce the Japs are, they will not be afraid of them.
Chen Shiqu was the Chief of Staff of Huaye during the War of Liberation in history and the commander of the famous Chen-Tang Corps. Naturally, he knew the importance. Knowing that the real fierce battle began after the reorganization of his Ten Vertical Expansion Army, he immediately ordered Chief of Staff Guo Huaruo to draft
The telegram was sent to the General Headquarters East, reporting that the Japanese army was transporting troops to Shanhaiguan via railways and highways, and that the Japanese's large-scale attack was about to begin. At the same time, a copy of the report was sent to Liu Jianshe, commander of the second column and commander-in-chief of the Liaoxi Group.
As soon as the telegram here was sent, the Japanese fleet flew to the front line of Shanhaiguan and started bombing frantically.
The people stationed at Shanhaiguan were the 28th Brigade of the 10th Column of the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army. They captured Shanhaiguan, and the garrison task also fell on their shoulders.
After receiving the order from the column headquarters, Zhang Renchu, commander of the 28th Brigade, and political commissar Mo Wenhua immediately ordered the frontline troops to enter combat status. Pay attention to the movements of the Japanese troops, pay attention to air defense, and prepare to blow up the Japanese armored patrol vehicles according to the battle plan.
Cut off the railway.
This is all from combat experience. Entering a combat state does not mean entering the trench fortifications immediately. You have to avoid the Japanese aircraft bombing and artillery fire. Otherwise, if the troops rush into the fortifications, they will become targets of the Japanese air strikes and artillery fire.
The Japanese army has been conducting ground search, reconnaissance and aerial reconnaissance on the Shanhaiguan front line for several days in a row. Therefore, the Japanese army aircraft fleet came well prepared and launched high-intensity bombing on our military positions they detected. At some time, the Shanhaiguan front line suddenly became stormy.
The Japanese planes dropped bombs frantically. In the end, because they did not encounter any ground fire counterattack, the Japanese planes became bolder. They even lowered their altitude and began to fire wildly with their onboard machine guns.
The front positions were filled with dust and smoke.
The Japanese army also knew that the first wave of bombings might not be very effective, because the Japanese army in North China had fought against Liu Yimin's troops many times. They knew that Liu Yimin's troops were best at camouflage, and it was likely that most of the targets bombed by planes were camouflaged. But they did not put these
If the disguised positions were blown up, how could we blow up the real positions and fortifications of the cunning Eighth Route Army?
The Liu Yimin Department has now been renamed the Northeastern People's Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army. In the minds of the Japanese troops in North China, they are still the cunning and cruel Shandong Eighth Route Army. Even Okamura Neiji's combat order says it is the Shandong Eighth Route Army Liu Yimin Department.
Zhang Renchu stood in front of the observation hole in the shelter, holding up his binoculars and looking at the Japanese planes bombing wildly. He kept smacking his lips: "My dear, the little devils are so poor, and yet they are so luxurious, as if the bombs are free of charge! Political commissar,
Calculate how many days the Japs can sustain such a high-intensity bombing."
Mo Wenhua is a very practical person and takes everything he does seriously. Zhang Renchu originally said it as a joke, but Mok Wenhua actually thought about it in his mind, and it took him a long time to reply: "It will last for half a month at most!"
Zhang Renchu laughed immediately and said: "Okay, my political commissar, have you not learned arithmetic well? How can the Japanese army last for half a month with such a high-intensity bombing? Damn it, I think it will be one day at most.
Tomorrow it will be impossible for the Japs to dispatch large-scale fleets of aircraft to carry out high-definition bombings. Do you think the Japs still occupy the steel plants in Anshan and the arsenals in Shenyang and Dalian?"
Mo Wenhua laughed after thinking about it, but he still insisted that the little devils know how to save. They have transported a lot of ore, steel, and coal from the Northeast. They probably have reserves, and they should be able to sustain it for a while.
The war has begun, and our frontline generals have such a relaxed and happy attitude. It seems that this battle is going to be interesting!
