The instructor traveled all the way at dawn and at night. When he arrived at Huozhou, he began to encounter the retreating Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army and other large national army units.
In order to avoid leaking secrets, the instructors detoured from the main road to avoid the main force of the national army retreating south, divided into several routes and headed north quietly.
After passing Lingshi, in addition to the fleeing people, there were broken soldiers everywhere on the road. Weapons and equipment were thrown on the road, not to mention heavy weapons such as field artillery, mountain artillery, and light and heavy machine guns. Even grenades, rifles, and bullets were thrown full.
All over the place. Some soldiers even brought weapons and ammunition to the common people in exchange for food and silver coins.
Liu Yimin felt very sad, and he had a real experience of the embarrassment of the national army when they retreated. He really wanted to capture a few broken soldiers and shoot them to improve the discipline of the army. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He couldn't blame these soldiers. They had already fought with the Japanese army.
After a few times, I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a Chinese. While these soldiers are fighting the Japanese army on the front line, I don’t know how many corrupt officials and profiteers are making a fortune in the country! Besides, I don’t know how many corrupt officials and profiteers are making money.
, it’s not that these soldiers are not brave, but that the problems of the national army are too complicated, and the reasons for the defeat cannot be explained clearly by the armchair researchers of later generations! However, just watching these trained soldiers fight with the Japanese on the bayonet
Liu Yimin himself could not forgive himself for the disintegration of his veterans. As long as they were reorganized and educated, coupled with strong leadership and rigorous training, these soldiers would soon become elites.
Therefore, Liu Yimin drew a battalion from each of the 11th, 12th, and 13th divisions, and a company from each of the artillery brigade, cavalry brigade, engineering regiment, and baggage regiment, and ordered Zhao Shan, political commissar of the 12th brigade, and Zhao Jie, director of the political office of the 11th brigade, to
The eighth teaching brigade was established, with Zhao Shan as the brigade commander and Zhao Jie as the political commissar. The soldiers were the defeated troops of the Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army and other troops collected along the road. The transferred units were immediately replenished from the supplementary regiment to complete the main force organization.
.
As a result, by the time Jiexiu arrived, the Eighth Jiao Brigade was fully staffed and had sufficient weapons and ammunition. Liu Yimin ordered them to train between Jiexiu and Pingyao, carry out a complaint campaign, organize troops, and quickly form combat effectiveness. Together with the Fifth Brigade,
, as the strategic reserve team of the entire division.
Along the way, Liu Yimin had to admire the policies adopted by our party during the Anti-Japanese War in history. The reason why the Japanese army dared to invade China was because they saw that the Chinese warlords were divided and divided, and their ideas were not unified. Only by establishing base areas and mobilizing the masses could they
Only by fighting people's war can we finally win the war. The greatness of the Anti-Japanese War lies in the fact that it allowed the Chinese people to undergo a completely reborn transformation from thought to spirit.
By the time Liu Yimin crossed Jiexiu, the special operations team led by Li Lingfeng, Li Shanzhu and Wang Laohu had already arrived at the edge of Pingyao County and were hiding.
Pingyao is located on the border of Jiexiu, Qixian, Wenshui, Fenyang, Qinyuan, Wuxiang and other counties and cities. There are four rivers in the county: Huiji River, Liugen River, Yingjian River and Fenhe River, and the Tongpu Railway passes through it.
It is an economically developed county in Shanxi.
The earliest construction of Pingyao city can be traced back to the period of King Xuan of Zhou Dynasty. At that time, General Yin Jifu went to the north to conquer the tyrants and built a city to garrison troops in Pingyao County. The current Pingyao City was expanded on the basis of the "nine miles and eighteen steps" of the old city perimeter in the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, due to Shanxi merchants and bank accounts
, the small Pingyao City has become the commercial and financial center of the country. It is said that "Pingyao City can't be filled, it can't be filled." The streets and alleys in the city are lined with shops, and they are extremely prosperous, forming fifteen market areas with their own characteristics.
, prosperous commerce, dense population, bustling with traffic.
Li Lingfeng is no stranger to Pingyao City. Last time he led a special operations brigade to show off his power in Pingyao City. He not only withdrew the deposits of Shanxi Bank Pingyao Branch, but also shot a bunch of corrupt officials. To this day, people in Pingyao talk about the Red Army.
They even shouted "Hong Qing Tian". Most of the gold bars and silver coins taken away at that time are still buried in Pingyao County!
Li Lingfeng has now become a special warfare expert. After taking cover at the edge of Pingyao City, he immediately sent people to investigate and quickly figured out the enemy's situation.
It turned out that at the end of the Taiyuan Battle, many big businessmen in Pingyao retreated with Yan Xishan. There were originally Shanxi-Sui army garrison in the county. But on November 12, the day before yesterday, more than 100 Japanese cavalry drove into Pingyao, Jin-Sui
The army immediately retreated. After entering Pingyao, the Japs sealed off more than a dozen grain accounts in Pingyao City and were busy arresting people and loading them into trucks, preparing to transport them to Taiyuan.
According to what the investigators learned from fellow villagers, in the past two days, a small group of Japanese cavalry went out of the city every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, to show off their power outside the city, showing that they had occupied Pingyao.
After listening to the report, Li Lingfeng, Li Shanzhu, Wang Laohu and Li Shuiniu looked at each other and immediately knew that there was no need to waste so much work. Looking at the watch again, it was almost time for the Japanese cavalry team to go on patrol in the afternoon. Li Lingfeng made a gesture,
Wang Laohu immediately led the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron to ambush on the patrol route of the Japanese cavalry team. Li Shanzhu led a battalion to move covertly toward the south gate of Pingyao.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, a small group of Japanese cavalry, carrying plaster flags and carrying guns, exited the west gate of Pingyao, went north around Pingyao City, passed the north gate, and galloped toward the south gate through the east gate.
When I was approaching the south gate, I saw three girls in front of me, wearing red gauze scarves and floral cotton-padded jackets, walking hurriedly into the distance with their heads lowered.
The Japanese cavalry shouted, turned their horses and chased after them.
Seeing that they were about to catch up, the three girls seemed to have known the danger, so they quickened their pace and ran towards the small village on the roadside.
The Japanese cavalrymen went crazy now, shouting "flower girl, flower girl, flower girl" and rushed towards the village on horseback.
At the moment when the Japanese cavalry entered the village, Wang Laohu flashed a sneer in his eyes and gave the order to attack. A shower of arrows drifted past, and more than forty small crossbow arrows were inserted into the vital parts of the bodies of the more than forty Japanese cavalry.
Some fell off the horse, and some had their feet still in the stirrups, dragging their bodies on the ground.
The soldiers of the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron immediately flashed out of the village, quickly controlled their horses, took off their Japs uniforms and put them on. Not long after, this small group of Japs cavalry left the village and galloped towards the south gate as a whole.
Needless to say, these three girls were dressed as soldiers from the 1st Special Forces Squadron. The little devils did not distinguish between male and female, and they would get angry when they saw a red scarf from a distance. Naturally, they had to die.
There were two Japanese sentries at the south gate of Pingyao City. When they saw the cavalry team returning, the Japanese sentries not only did not question them, but instead wanted to ask the pretty girl how she felt. When the cavalry team came up, the sentries realized that they all had strange faces.
Woolen cloth?
Before the Japanese sentry could make any further moves, the leading cavalryman slashed his neck with his saber, and blood spurted out all over the ground.
The other sentry met the same fate and was also split in half by the sword.
Wang Laohu sighed in his heart, this little devil is really looking down on people. There are only two sentries standing guard at such a big city gate. He is really crazy. Aren't he afraid that the Chinese army will fight back?
After thinking about it, Wang Laohu still left two soldiers to guard the south gate, and assisted Li Lingfeng and the first battalion. The sniper team entered the city. He led the cavalry team into five groups and galloped towards the other five city gates.
The ancient city of Pingyao has six gates in three square miles. Although the business and financial industries are prosperous, the city is not big. It didn't take long for Wang Lao Lao and others to completely control the city gates. When the people saw Wang Lao Lao and others slashing the Japanese with swords, they immediately understood that it was
The Chinese army came back, and soon someone came up to talk, pointed out the Japanese barracks, and asked for guidance.
Wang Laohu left a team of soldiers standing guard at the gate of each city, and led the other team members to gallop towards the compound of the original Pingyao Security Corps. There was the barracks of the Japanese Cavalry Squadron.
At this time, it was almost five o'clock. In Shanxi in November, the weather was already cold. At five o'clock, the sky began to slowly turn dark.
At the gate of the security regiment's yard, the Japanese army had five sentry posts, with two men standing guard and three men guarding a machine gun, crawling in the bunker.
When Wang Laohu led the soldiers to the gate of the yard, the Japanese sentry saluted with a gun. Wang Laohu was no longer arrogant this time, jumped off his horse, said thank you for your hard work in Japanese, and walked towards the Japanese machine gun bunker with his sword in hand.
The two Japanese sentries at the door were pleasantly surprised when Wang Laohu jumped off his horse to greet them about their hard work. Why did the team leader change his gender today? In the past, he always said hello, but today he actually said that they had worked hard! Oh my God, is Amaterasu the Great God?
Appeared?
Before the two sentries woke up from the surprise, they saw the squad leader walking towards the machine gun bunker with a sword. One sentry was shocked, this was not the squad leader, but someone else pretending to be him. This guy's first reaction was to draw his gun.
Stop, then open your mouth and shout.
It's a pity that the Japs' sentries had their eyes in their crotches, and they only discovered the problem at this time. It was obviously too late. They were facing the special operations elite of the Eighth Route Army. How could they be allowed to shout out, let alone pull the trigger?
.
The two Japanese sentries had their throats lightly cut with daggers. They fell limply into the arms of the two soldiers and were placed on the ground beside the door. However, compared to the three Japanese in the machine gun bunker, this
The two sentries were lucky. At least they were all dead. The three Japanese soldiers
The soldiers were not so lucky. When they looked back with frightened eyes, Wang Laohu waved his sword three times, and the three Japanese soldiers were immediately killed and their identities were lost. The three heads rolled into the bunker.
It looks as disgusting as it is disgusting, as ferocious as it looks.
Wang Laohu waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately put away their swords, picked up their brand-new August 1 automatic rifles, mounted their horses and rushed towards the yard.
A bloody scene was taking place on the training ground of the Security Corps compound.
It was already five o'clock, and it was time to eat soon, but the Japanese cavalry did not rest. They were still training their sword skills.
More than eighty Japanese cavalrymen lined up in three teams and were listening to Lieutenant Xiao Shuiye's comments. In the open space in front of the team, there were dozens of corpses of Chinese prisoners of war lying. Fifteen Chinese prisoners of war were tied to a row of wooden stakes.
Some of them had closed their eyes in despair, only one or two people were still cursing in Chinese that the Japanese couldn't understand.
Lieutenant Komizuno graduated from the Cavalry Section of the Army Sergeant School and is now the captain of a small team. At this time, he was explaining the knife marks on the corpse and commenting on the pros and cons of sword skills.
When Wang Laohu and the others came in, Lieutenant Xiao Shuiye was talking excitedly.
As soon as he smelled the smell of blood and looked at the Chinese prisoners of war tied to the wooden stakes, Wang Laohu didn't understand anything. His blood started to surge. He didn't care about talking about special tactics and opened the cover of the Japanese army's coat.
Buttoning, he shouted: "I'll kill all the Japanese!" and the automatic rifle in his hand opened fire.
At this time, all the automatic rifles in the hands of the soldiers were activated, and many of the Japanese were shot in the middle.
Lieutenant Xiao Shuiye was the last to die because he was facing Wang Laohu and the others, with three rows of Japanese cavalry between them. When he saw the cavalry coming in from the door firing at his own cavalry, Xiao Shuiye was stunned for a moment and knew that this was
The Chinese army made a sneak attack and immediately shouted in Japanese: "Enemy attack!"
What Lieutenant Komizuno didn't expect was that these thirty or so cavalrymen were all armed with automatic weapons. Their firepower was so powerful that his own cavalrymen had their backs turned to them. They didn't even have a chance to react before they were overwhelmed by the hail of bullets.
It wasn't until all his cavalry were killed that Lieutenant Xiao Shuiye woke up from his stupor. Cursing "Despicable! Shameless! The work of the Chinese soldiers in sneak attacks", he swung his sword and charged towards Wang Laohu and the others.
Without even looking at Xiao Shuiye, Wang Laohu waved his hand, and the two soldiers immediately pulled the triggers. Several bullets hit Lieutenant Xiao Shuiye's head at the same time, causing his white brain to flow out like milk.
One place.
Wang Laohu said: "Idiot"! He did not bother to untie the prisoners on the wooden stakes, and ordered the soldiers to separate and rush to the security regiment headquarters, canteen, stables, and barracks to search for the remaining enemies.
The gunfire woke up Captain Kimura Ichiro, the leader of the Japanese cavalry squadron.
Captain Kimura Ichiro's cavalry squadron is part of the 5th Division Cavalry Regiment.
After the Battle of Taiyuan, after a short rest, the cavalry regiment was ordered to pursue Qingxu and Qixian County. After arriving in Qixian County, because there was no resistance from the Chinese army, Captain Kimura Ichiro volunteered and led his squadron to Pingyao.
Investigation. What he didn't expect was that the Pingyao defenders actually fled, leaving him unable to catch up and only captured some skirmishers.
After a tour of Pingyao City, Captain Kimura Ichiro was overjoyed. There are a lot of gold tickets, a lot of food, and a lot of various materials here! He is going to establish a special honor for His Majesty the Emperor this time, and it is very likely that this Captain
He became a captain.
The ecstatic Captain Kimura Ichiro first closed down all the grain stores in Pingyao and asked the owners of those grain stores to hire cars and people to transport the grain to Taiyuan. Then he moved the jewelry stores and jade shops in Pingyao City that had no time to escape.
Okay, all the antique shops and gold shops were closed, and all the jewelry, jade, antiques and gold were transported to the squadron headquarters. Then they captured some flower girls and brought them back to the squadron headquarters to express condolences to the imperial warriors.
In the afternoon, Lieutenant Komizuno insisted on giving some swordsmanship lessons to the soldiers. This guy was indeed a top student in the cavalry department of the Army Academy. He did have a skill in swordsmanship. He drew the sword cleanly and did not touch the blade after it passed by.
Blood. Since he wants to talk, let him do it! Captain Kimura Ichiro himself is hiding in the office, admiring the gold and silver treasures he plundered.
The more I watch it, the more I like it. The more I watch it, the more I like it. If you think about shipping these things back to Japan, your family will become rich immediately! If you find a well-known lady as your wife, it will definitely feel wonderful and wonderful!
Captain Kimura Ichiro was already intoxicated in his fantasy, and he kept talking about the wiseness of His Majesty the Emperor, the beauty of China, the gold, and the decision to attack China was a great one!
The sound of gunfire on the training ground finally brought Captain Kimura Ichiro back from his fantasy. No, where was the shooting? The Chinese army had already disappeared, so why were they still shooting? Did Lieutenant Xiaomizuno change the subject?
Is it a shooting?
When I heard it again, it was even more wrong. The sound of gunfire was not the sound of machine guns and rifles of the Imperial Army, nor was it the sound of old-fashioned German-made rifles and Czech machine guns of the Chinese army. What's going on?
Captain Kimura Ichiro quickly opened the door, carrying the tortoise box in one hand and the sword in the other, rushed out of the squadron headquarters and ran to the training ground, not wanting to run into Wang Laohu head-on.
When Wang Laohu saw Ichiro Kimura's rank, he knew that this guy was the commander of the cavalry squadron. Because when Liu Yimin was training the special operations brigade and sniper brigade in Xi'an, he specifically talked about the organization and ranks of the Japanese army. The Japanese cavalry had a higher rank than the infantry.
, the squad leader is a lieutenant, and the squadron leader is a captain. The military uniform Wang Laohu wears is that of a cavalry lieutenant and squad leader.
When Captain Kimura Ichiro saw that it was his cavalry, he opened his mouth and asked where to shoot?
Without saying a word, Wang Laohu reached the left side of Captain Kimura Ichiro in a flash. He slashed Captain Kimura Ichiro's neck with a hand knife, and the guy fell limply to the ground.
According to Wang Laohu's temper, he was originally going to kill Kimura Ichiro directly. However, Wang Laohu is now very different from the past. The teacher asked him to be a gentle gentleman and educate the cadres to be learning commanders. Wang Laozu had already
You know that you can't become a regiment-level cadre just by being brave, so you have to be more cautious in everything. Just now he made a knife out of his hands.
At that time, I thought that although the division commander had no good impression of the Japanese and wanted to kill them all, that was because the division commander was afraid that the soldiers would suffer losses by taking prisoners. If he could capture a prisoner and learn about the enemy's situation, the division commander would be very happy! As long as the division commander is happy,
Then wouldn't our King Tiger be happy too? So, when he struck out with some force, he only knocked out Captain Kimura Ichiro.
When Li Lingfeng arrived with a battalion, the battle was over and the soldiers were rescuing the prisoners of war.
Li Lingfeng immediately sent a report to Liu Yimin, reporting that Wang Laohu led the No. 1 Special Warfare Squadron to successfully attack Pingyao, capture the Japanese cavalry squadron leader and a translator, and kill all the other Japs. The No. 1 Special Warfare Squadron had no casualties.
After receiving the telegram, Liu Yimin was overjoyed. The first step had been completed and it was a good start. Regardless of being happy, Liu Yimin immediately ordered the entire division to speed up and rushed to camp near Pingyao County. He also ordered Li Lingfeng and Wang Laohu to be responsible for interrogating the Japanese squadron leader and
Translation, special means and technical measures can be taken, and it is necessary to understand the deployment of the Japanese troops in the Taiyuan area.
After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin ordered the guard regiment to protect the division headquarters to march directly to Pingyao County.
