Liu Yimin calculated that it was only more than 30 kilometers from the Northwest Hua near the Japanese army camped tonight. After the sniper brigade broke off contact with the enemy last night, the enemy should not be able to touch the reality of our army for the time being, and it is estimated that it will continue along the west bank of the canal.
Go south to sweep. A cavalry must be sent to Qinghan Town to block the enemy there, and then alternately cover the enemy with battalions, lure the enemy one by one, and stagnate the enemy, and lure the enemy to the Wuguan Village around 7 pm. At that time,
, the main force of the 21st Division was wiped out around the Wuguan Village.
The combat meeting began, and Luo Ronghuan conveyed the original text of the telegram from Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu and the combat orders issued by the division headquarters. Then, Liu Yimin began to make combat deployments.
At this time, it was not yet clear that a few horse lanterns were lit in the courtyard of the Wuguanzhai District Office where the division headquarters was located, making the venue clear.
Liu Yimin's tone was full of heroic spirit: "At present, the War of Resistance Against Japan is generally the enemy is strong and we are weak. The enemy is carrying out strategic offensives at multiple points and lines, and our army is on the defensive. However, in local areas and local battlefields, the strength of the enemy and us is compared.
It is hard to say. For example, in the Yunxi area of Wucheng, the main force of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army is 10,000 people, while our army has three elite infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, one artillery brigade, and the division's direct troops.
The total force is as high as 60,000. Even the weapons and equipment are significantly higher than the 21st Division, which belongs to the nature of the security division. Therefore, I decided to kill the main force of the 21st Division here. Then I used the possible Japanese cryptographic book to seize the Japanese army.
, pretending to be a 21st Division, seeking help, and seeking to lure other troops of the 21st Division stationed in De County and the enemy's independent 4th Brigade that was sweeping in Liaocheng area to come to help, and wipe out the entire Yunxi area in one fell swoop.
, we must also tempt the 24th Division stationed in Cang County, which was sweeping in central Hebei to come to help and annihilate it. In the final analysis, we must use the elimination of the 21st Division as bait to fish on a large scale, and use our army's strength to
The firepower of the two countries will be used to transfer as many enemies as possible to the west and bury them here."
After a moment of pause, he looked at the cadres who were already excited. Liu Yimin continued: "The key point of this battle is to lure the enemy. As long as they can lead the 21st Division to the Wuguan Village after dark, they will die.
The specific deployment is as follows: First, the cavalry regiment will be responsible for the task of luring the enemy. Note that the initial battle will cause the Japanese to have an illusion of encountering the local security forces of our army and the enemy. You can attack the banner of the cavalry regiment of the Hebei Guerrilla Detachment, based on the battalion,
Alternate cover, fight and harass you step by step, make the enemy hate you to the core and pursue you desperately. In particular, you must grasp the rhythm of attack and be sure to lead the main force of the Japanese army to the Wuguan Village after 7 pm. After reaching the Wuguan Village, ride a regiment
We must bypass Wuguanzhai and continue to go south and go to Dongliangzhuang to stand by. It will not take too early, and the Japanese army will aim at us. We must pay special attention to air defense and use road trench movement troops to reduce unnecessary losses. Second, teach the first brigade and the wilderness.
The first cannon regiment was hidden in the first line of Xianglupo on the west side of Wuguan Village. The Second Education Brigade, the Second Field Artillery Regiment, the Mountain Artillery Regiment, and the Heavy Machine Gun regiment were hidden in the first line of Yangliuzhuang on the east side of Wuguan Village. The Third Education Brigade was hidden in the east side of Wuguan Village.
On the Zhaoxing line, the cavalry brigade was hidden in Wuzhuang and Caozhuang lines. The guard regiment and the special operations brigade first squadron, the engineering regiment, and the flying thunder cannon regiment were hidden in the military camp. 3, starting at 5:30 pm, the guard regiment and the engineering regiment
, Feilei Cannon Regiment defended the Military Officer Village, Wang Laohu's Special Forces First Squadron was responsible for killing the enemy's search vanguards who entered the Military Officer Village. The Engineer Regiment will take action now and build fortifications in the Military Officer Village. After the battle begins, try to attract the enemy's vanguard troops to the town.
The special forces brigade and the guard regiment will solve it. After the enemy discovers, the engineer corps and guard regiments will rely on fortifications and use light weapons to fight, so that the enemy thinks that this is the general troops defending and attracting enemies to the surrounding military camp.
Concentration provides convenience for our army to exert firepower. The first brigade and command troops set up hidden ambush positions on the west side of the Wuguan Village, the second brigade and command troops set up hidden ambush positions on the east side of the Wuguan Village, the third brigade and cavalry brigade
Responsible for the task of closing the network. Fourth, the Communications Battalion set up telephone lines from the positions of the division headquarters in advance. After the battle started, all eight artillery regiments opened fire, each gun fired at least 10 shots, covering the entire area where the main force of the 21st Division was located.
Then each brigade surrounded the enemy from all sides and attacked centripetal. All the headlights of the Second Regiment of the Second Regiment must be turned on to illuminate the battlefield and not let a Japanese escape. 5. During the day today, except for the First Regiment, all other troops will be allowed to lure the enemy.
Rest in secludedly and wait until 5:30 pm to enter the ambush position after dark.”
Now, the cadres of the various troops who have been trained and trained in many wars have grown up. Therefore, Liu Yimin only made general arrangements. As for how the troops are connected, how the positions are established, and how the troops are hidden, they are all brigades
The matters of the commander, the commander and the staff office were no longer necessary for Liu Yimin to make too detailed arrangements. Therefore, Liu Yimin quickly ended the arrangements, changed the subject and said, "Eliminating the 21st Division is not a big deal."
The key to the battle record depends on the subsequent development of the battle. Therefore, all troops should pay special attention to seizing the enemy's radio codebook as completely as possible. The cordon of the Third Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade should be kept as far as possible, and all the enemy's guard troops must be kept.
All are included in the network, and the enemy cannot know the truth about the annihilation of the main force of the 21st Division."
After saying that, Liu Yimin waved his hand: "Comrades, the Japanese devils are extremely rampant at present. They have forgotten the lessons from Taiyuan and Tianjin. They dare to siege our Eighth Route Army base. We must use this battle to fight the devils.
, Let them understand that no matter what the place my teacher has built, they can no longer encircle and suppress it, otherwise it will be one word: Death!"
After the combat meeting, Liu Yimin told Zhu Zhexiao to lead the staff of the staff to change into plainclothes and carefully investigate and divide the positions of each brigade, so that no gaps or blind spots should be left. All the people in the villages in the combat area should be transferred, so that the masses should not suffer major consequences.
Loss of
As the first deputy director of the Staff Office, Zhu Zhexiao was just recording orders every day, and was very upset. She wanted to get out of the combat troops and show what she had learned. When she heard the division commander asks him to check and arrange the positions of various brigades directly, she was very happy.
He hurriedly saluted the commander, pulled a group of staff and left.
After Zhu Zhexiao left, Luo Ronghuan asked Liu Yimin to hurry up and rest. Liu Yimin smiled and said, "Before the war, I was excited and it was not easy to fall asleep. Let's just rest here and drink tea and pass the time!"
When Luo Ronghuan heard this, he pushed him away and said that there was still one day, so how could he wait here? Or was it serious to take a break early and force Liu Yimin to go and rest.
Just as the instructor Liu Yimin made careful arrangements and was preparing to wipe out the main force of the 21st Division, the Japanese troops in Shandong also accelerated their pace of sweeping.
Major General Dong, the commander of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade, was to cooperate with the 21st Division to completely eliminate the northwest of the Yellow River and the southwest of Jinpu Road. After accepting the task, Dong of Kawa Village asked Lieutenant General Xiwei Shouzao for advice. Xiwei Shouzao
Lieutenant General told him that the main forces of the Chinese government forces on the ground in Shandong had already escaped with Han Fuqu. There was only one inspector of the Sixth Administrative Region, the county magistrate of Liaocheng, and the commander of the Sixth Guerrilla District, Fan Zhuxian, disobeyed Han Fuqu's orders and insisted on resisting in northwest Shandong.
Not only did he run newspapers to promote anti-Japanese war, but he also gathered the remaining bandits, formed a team, and attacked small troops of the Imperial Army many times. When the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade was cleared, Fan Zhuxian's troops must be eliminated.
After listening to Commander Nishio Susao's instructions, Dong Kawamura went to visit the secret service chief Hideki Nakano and read in detail about Fan Zhuxian's troops. He knew that Fan Zhuxian, with the help of the Communist Party, held anti-Japanese military and political cadres training in northwest Shandong.
The squad formed an anti-Japanese mass group, established a local regime, and formed a force. The headquarters was in Liaocheng.
After obtaining this information, Dong Huo Village obtained the information and analyzed it, it was believed that although Fan Zhuxian's troops were known to be tens of thousands of people, they were newly formed troops. Most of the troops only obeyed Fan Zhuxian's orders on the surface, and their combat effectiveness was very average. Dong Huo Village was determined to attack Liaocheng in surprise and beat him in one fell swoop.
Eliminate Fan Zhuxian's troops.
On January 25, the day after the end of the combat meeting of the Second Japanese Army, Kawamura Dong led the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade to set off.
This guy from Kawamura is extremely cunning. Since he was determined to attack, he simply did not do anything. After reporting to Lieutenant General Nishio Shou, he transferred some of the captured military uniforms that Han Fuqu troops did not have time to take away, so he simply asked the vanguard to change their clothes and disguise them.
As the Chinese army, the large army followed suit. Under the leadership of the traitor, they hid in the morning and walked at night, and rushed to Liaocheng.
Fan Zhuxian was born in Guantao County, Shandong Province. He was born in 1882. His original name was Jinbiao and his courtesy name was Zhuxian. He served in the Beiyang Army in his early years. Later, he went to Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army and served as a major general senator in the Third Route Army of Han Fuqu. He arrived in November 1936.
Liaocheng served as the administrative inspector and security commander of the Sixth District of Shandong Province, and the county magistrate of Liaocheng County.
In May 1937, Comrade Peng Xuefeng arrived in Liaocheng under the name of visiting classmates and had a few deep talks with Fan Zhuxian to make him accept our party's proposal to establish a united front in anti-Japanese war. Afterwards, Fan Zhuxian appointed Communist Party member Yao Dihong as the secretary of the special agency and invited Communist Party cadres to come.
Liaocheng assisted in the War of Resistance. In October 1937, the Shandong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China selected 12 major officers and 240 captain waiters from the Third Group Military Political Training Class and 240 captain waiters from the backbone of the Communist Party members and "Minist-first" team members to Liaocheng to assist Fan Zhuxian in establishing it.
The troops. Then, Zhang Linzhi, the Minister of the Organization of the Provincial Party Committee, was sent to Liaocheng to unified the leadership of the Party’s work and united front work in northwestern Shandong as a representative of the Provincial Party Committee.
When the Japanese army attacked Shandong, Han Fuqu was about to collapse with the enemy in De County, and was denied by the Japanese invaders. He led the Shandong defenders and officials at all levels to escape in a hurry. At this time, only Fan Zhuxian insisted on not withdrawing the entire Shandong military and political sequence.
War of resistance.
Han Fuqu sent telegrams several times, ordering Fan Zhuxian to lead the troops and government agencies to retreat. At this time, in order to encourage Fan Zhuxian to stay for anti-Japanese war, Zhang Linzhi had a long talk with him many times. Fan Zhuxian sent a telegram to the whole country on November 19: "It's from Japanese slaves."
Invading, I trapped my North China, where the iron hooves arrived, and the territory changed color. My army crossed south, north of the Yellow River, waiting to sink. I mourned my people, and I was trapped in water and fire, wandering at midnight, crying and heartbroken. I was the governor of the ranks and guarding the land.
I have the responsibility to break my head and look north, and never cross the south. I swear to lead my guerrilla athletes and armed people to deal with Japanese slaves. I will do my best to do whatever I want, and I will do my best to do it. I hope that I can get the best of my weapons and bullets.
With the help of the war, we can fight to the end and be loyal to our fools and loyalty. We can look south and we can't beat the company."
The strong and strong bones appeared on the paper. The Qi and Lu men were shameless and ashamed of Han Fuqu.
In fact, Fan Zhuxian's backbone troops had only a security camp of less than 1,000 people. But at this time, Shandong was in chaos and entered anarchy, and there were many scattered soldiers and raids. In addition, Fan Zhuxian's identity could call on the people, and this flag of anti-Japanese war was short.
In a few months, it actually developed to 35 detachments and three troop armies, with a total of about 60,000 people.
While supporting Fan Zhuxian in developing his troops and establishing an anti-Japanese regime, the Communist Party of China was directly under the armed forces led by our party.
When the instructor established the Western Shandong Military Region and established the Western Shandong Administrative Office, Fan Zhuxian and the Communist Party of China Lushi Special Committee had already established a foothold in northwest Shandong. The main force came, and it was even more powerful. Unfortunately, the establishment of the Western Shandong Military Region was too short, so
Shang Fan Zhuxian has a special identity, and some troops have elements of our party. Liu Jian, commander of the Western Shandong Military Region, had no time to reorganize Fan Zhuxian's 60,000 troops, otherwise, it would be a force that cannot be ignored.
On the morning of the 27th, Fan Zhuxian was urgently awakened by Yao Dihong. Yao Dihong reported that the Japanese army had attacked, leading a small army disguised as the National Army, and was about to arrive in Liaocheng soon. Please ask the commander to deploy the battle immediately.
When Fan Zhu heard this, he got up immediately, put on his clothes and asked where the Japanese army came from.
Yao Dihong was not clear about the specific situation. He only heard the reported troops that they came from the direction of Qihe. At first, they thought it was the national army, but later they found that the Japanese troops were all following, tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, large chariots, and cavalry.
Report it quickly.
Fan Zhu was born in the army and knew that Liaocheng was surrounded by water on three sides and there was no danger to be taken. He immediately ordered Yao Dihong to notify Deputy Commander of the City Defense Zheng Zuoheng and Chief of Staff Wang Jinxiang to discuss military information.
Yao Dihong quickly called Zheng Zuoheng and Wang Jinxiang. After the two arrived, Fan Zhuxian discussed briefly with Wang Jinxiang and decided to withdraw from Liaocheng and move towards Linqing. He ordered the First Route Army to deploy defenses at Chengdong Pass and the Tenth Detachment to deploy defenses at Chengbei Pass.
The guerrilla battalion is responsible for guarding the four city gates and covering government agencies, schools and people's transfers.
After Wang Jinxiang went to convey the order, Fan Zhu first arranged for his wife and children to withdraw from the city with the orderly soldiers.
During this period, Fan Zhuxian had received a notice from the Western Shandong Military Region on the Japanese army's mobilization, and had organized most schools, agencies and people to transfer. There were not many ordinary people staying in Liaocheng. Therefore, the transfer speed was very fast, and by 9 o'clock
There are basically only defenders in Liaocheng County.
Seeing that the transfer mission was completed, the reconnaissance force also reported that the Japanese army was only a few kilometers away from Liaocheng, and Fan Zhuxian ordered the troops to evacuate.
Just as he was about to leave the headquarters, he received a report saying that the first civilian army defending Chengdong Pass had fled.
Fan Zhuxian was so angry that his beard floated up, and he cursed the coward. After scolding, he looked for Chief of Staff Wang Jinxiang and found that he could not find this person. After asking, he found out that Wang Jinxiang had already taken the guerrilla battalion and ran away.
Now, Fan Zhuxian was angry and sad, and cursed the cowards repeatedly. He thought to himself that the main force of the Shandong Military Region established by the Communist Party was an old Red Army unit. After retreating to Linqing this time, he must ask the Communist Party to help train him.
If the troops really don’t work, they will hand over the team to the reorganization and training of the Western Shandong Military Region.
At this time, gunfire sounded around Liaocheng. Fan Zhuxian knew that he had to retreat immediately, and it would be too late if he didn't leave.
Fan Zhuxian led the guerrilla battalion to the west gate. After arriving at the west gate, he realized that it was too late and the large Japanese troops had arrived. The machine guns had blocked the city gate and could not get out.
Fan Zhuxian then realized that the Japanese army was prepared and used cars and cavalrymen marched quickly, and they arrived quickly after a few kilometers of distance. In addition, the first civilian army fled in the battle, and Liaocheng was exposed to the guns of the Japanese army.
.
After Fan Zhu first retreated to the city, he ordered the blockade of the three city gates in the east, south and north, and called for the deputy commander of the city defense, Zheng Zuoheng, guerrilla battalion commander Lin Jintang, Communist Party representative Zhang Yuguang and Communist Party members, and the secretary of the special agency Yao Dihong to study the deployment of the Liaocheng defense battle.
After discussing, several people decided to compete with the enemy at the city gate and seize the opportunity to break through.
Fan Zhuo first looked at these young comrades and said, "I'm old and it's nothing to die. You are young, and you have to rely on you to save the country. You must find opportunities to stand out and defeat the Japanese devils!"
After saying that, he carried his beloved Longquan sword, held his pistol, and led everyone to the city wall to observe the battle situation.
When everyone saw this, they were all secretly shocked. The Japanese surrounded the city gates in a dense manner, and the cannons were also set up. The tanks and armored vehicles also drove to the front. It seemed that they were about to launch an attack.
Fan Zhuxian knew that martyrdom for the country was today, so he immediately ordered Zheng Zuoheng, guerrilla battalion commanders Lin Jintang, Zhang Yuguang and Yao Dihong to go to a city gate each, and to lead the troops to fight against the enemy, and to ensure that the Japanese attacks continue.
At 11 a.m., the ready-made Japanese troops began to attack the city, and cannons concentrated on bombarding the East Gate.
The artillery bombardment collapsed the east gate. The Japanese soldiers shouted and rushed towards the east gate under the cover of the tank. Yao Dihong, who arrived at the east gate, immediately ordered the soldiers to concentrate their firepower to fight the Japanese infantry and use grenades to blow the Japanese tanks.
Although the guerrilla battalion is Fan Zhuxian's backbone, it is a local security team with limited combat quality. The soldiers are fighting against the enemy with all their passion. Where can they block the attack of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles? Look around them.
The soldiers died one by one, and no one shot again. Yao Dihong, who was a student, smiled sadly, grabbed five grenades and tied them together, and hid on the side of the collapsed city gate.
The Japanese tank came up, and Yao Dihong had already heard the Japanese clamoring behind the tank. Yao Dihong, who knew a little Japanese, knew that the Japanese were shouting to press up and press up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the Japanese tank was facing forward.
The bodies of the martyrs were rolled away.
Yao Dihong was furious and jumped out in a flash, pulled the grenade and threw it under the tank.
Amid the explosion of the grenades, the bullets of the Japanese infantry also hit Yao Dihong. The east gate of the city was lost.
