Liu Heiqi's team is basically composed of habitual bandits. Not to mention the backbone bandits, even the more than 1,000 people who were replenished in Linyi are all small groups of bandits and sporadic bandits scattered in the Yimeng Mountains. The worst is also
Some people are eager to become bandits. Because bandits are different from the national army. The national army recruits soldiers by catching soldiers, and most bandits join the gang voluntarily.
When Liu Heiqi died, the gangsters who were rushing forward did not know that the gangsters surrounding him were also killed almost at the same time, so he died basically silently. Those gangsters did not know that their tillers had been
After being shot to death, they still relied on their inertia to shout and rush forward. It was not until the bullets behind them passed by them like wind, and they took those brothers to see the King of Hell one by one. Only then did the gangsters who were lucky enough to survive realize that someone was behind the scenes.
, then I looked back to see what happened.
The 13th Teaching Regiment is the first-class main force of the 5th Teaching Brigade. There is a gap in equipment between the 1st Teaching Regiment, the 4th Teaching Regiment and the 7th Teaching Regiment, that is, the number of rocket launchers and August 1st automatic rifles and August 1st machine guns are smaller, but they are still owned by the squad.
In the machine gun group, the platoon has a firepower squad, the company has a firepower platoon, the battalion has a firepower company, and the regiment has a firepower support battalion. The overall firepower has far exceeded the Japanese army. The reason why Hong Chaoyuan arranged to teach the 13th Regiment to lead the New Fifth Regiment and the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Team
The First Corps came to deal with Liu Heiqi. First, it was considered that the soldiers of the First Corps of the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Corps were all from Lunan. Some of them must have seen Liu Heiqi to prevent this guy from escaping. The second was to use
The 13th Regiment of his sharpest knife point sect came to wipe out the Liu Hei Qi gang in one fell swoop.
The 13th Regiment, the New 5th Regiment and the First Corps of the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Corps attacked behind Liu Heiqi's gangsters. Naturally, all weapons opened fire. Six or seven thousand people hit more than 2,000 people. The firepower was so fierce. Those
Naturally, the gangsters rolled straight to the ground. Therefore, when the gangsters who had rushed farther away and were lucky to be alive looked back after being alert, the scene that appeared in front of them was something they had never imagined in their entire lives: Mao Family
The field south of the weir was covered with corpses wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army. An unknown army wearing gray military uniforms and helmets surrounded Maojiayan in a fan shape, their bayonets shining brightly in the sun.
Glowing with a scary light.
The bravery of bandits can only be shown in the mountainous areas. It can be said that the mountains are the biological parents of the bandits. The bandits who leave the mountainous areas are like trees without roots. What's more, they have sold their backs to the main force of the Eighth Route Army? So, when those who are lucky are
When the few surviving bandits turned around and saw this scene, they were frightened to death. They had always killed and abused the common people. When the god of death came to them, they were far worse than those common people. They were immediately
I peed my pants!
The cadres of the 13th Regiment and the New 5th Regiment all know Liu Yimin's attitude towards Liu Heiqi's gang, so they will naturally not be merciful to them. Many of the soldiers of the First Corps of the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Corps are close to Liu Heiqi's gang.
There was a blood feud, and this enemy was extremely jealous of each other. Seeing the opportunity to avenge his relatives and fellow villagers, he would not want any prisoners! So the soldiers of the First Corps of the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Corps, armed with old-fashioned rifles, rushed to the front.
Bullets, grenades, and bayonets were all fired at the remaining gangsters. Zhang Yicheng had to order Zhang Guangzhong to stop his soldiers. Because they lacked training, such an attack would inevitably cause too many casualties. Their mission was to clean the battlefield and serve as
Just be alert on the battlefield and let the main force deal with the remaining bandits.
Zhang Guangzhong looked at the charge formation of the 13th Regiment, and then looked at his soldiers charging upright like peasants. He knew that what Zhang Yicheng said was reasonable. However, it was impossible to withdraw the soldiers at this time, because they
I really want to beat gangster Liu Heiqi.
By the time Zhang Guangzhong's order was conveyed to the soldiers of the First Corps of the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Corps, the Liu Hei Qi Gang had been completely wiped out. Zhang Yicheng directly ordered the 13th Regiment to bypass Maojiayan from the east in accordance with the combat plan and carry out a flank attack.
The Japanese ordered the New Fifth Regiment to enter Maojiayan, take over the position of Mo Zhengmin's troops, confront the Japanese head on, and intercept the remnants of Zhang Buyun's retreating troops.
The most exciting people in the entire Xiazhuang battle were the soldiers of Mo Zhengmin's army. They were first attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops, and the troops were routed. On the way back, they were ambushed by the puppet troops. Seeing that the team had completely collapsed, they were about to
The entire army was wiped out, and unexpectedly a miracle happened. In the blink of an eye, the puppet troops who were chasing them were knocked down one by one. In the end, all the puppet troops in the south were wiped out, and the puppet troops in the west were beaten until they were running away.
, even the Japanese were stunned by the shells. So, the soldiers who had been forced to run around by the Japanese and puppet soldiers just now stopped running and began to climb down and opened fire on the Japanese and puppet soldiers. The surviving captains and squadron leaders,
The squad leader also began to step up and give orders.
When the cannon fired, Mo Zhengmin, Wang Dongnian, and Wang Naizheng were all on the position of the Maojiayan First Brigade, commanding the First Brigade to desperately resist the Japanese attack.
The Japanese army consisted of nearly three brigades. Major General Tsuchiya saw that the main force of Mo Zhengmin's army had been defeated. He had no further scruples. He immediately ordered the Japanese to deploy across the board and directly attack Mo's first battalion who was holding on to Maojiayan.
A full-scale attack was launched.
Although this independent mixed sixth brigade is a garrison brigade, its combat effectiveness is not only incomparable with the Japanese permanent divisions, but also incomparable with the third, fourth, and thirteenth independent mixed brigades that were established earlier. But
Compared with the national army, the combat effectiveness is still superior. Compared with Mo Zhengmin's troops, needless to say, they are not on the same level at all.
Seeing the Japanese screaming and rushing forward, a large group of soldiers, under the command of the captains, relied on the position near the village to fire continuously. Unfortunately, these broken guns did not live up to expectations, and most of the bullets flew to nowhere.
, but the Japs' rifles hit accurately, and the machine guns fired like wind, making the soldiers unable to raise their heads. Soon the Japs' infantry cannons and grenades came over, and shrapnel hit the soldiers' heads and in front of their eyes.
, flying behind them, constantly taking away the lives of the soldiers.
Although Mo Zhengmin smoked a heavy cigarette and did not fully understand what the art of command was, he knew that once the Japs rushed into the village, everything would be over. Therefore, as soon as he saw that the position at the east end of the village had been breached and the Japs were about to rush in, he led him directly
He rushed forward with his own guards and blocked the gap forcefully.
At this time, a squadron leader ran over and said to Mo Zhengmin: "Commander, if we continue to fight like this, our brothers will all be dead. Run quickly. If you don't run, you will have to surrender!"
Mo Zhengmin glanced at his sworn brother, and then at the corpses of the Guards soldiers stacked in the gap, and a tear fell from the corner of his eyes. He understood that one group had suffered heavy casualties, and the other groups had already collapsed. When the Japanese came back,
, I can't stop it anymore.
As soon as Wang Naizheng heard that the squadron leader was about to escape and surrender, he immediately pointed his gun at him, glared and shouted: "Whoever dares to surrender and become a traitor, I will kill him!"
The squadron leader rolled his eyes: "What do you know, you idiot? Who wants to surrender? Isn't there no other way now? If you don't surrender, you will die! You can leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. What if they all die?"
There’s no ball left, and you still have to fight for a bird’s day!”
Mo Zhengmin didn't want to surrender, but he was an old soldier after all, and he valued strength. If he didn't surrender, there would really be nothing. So, he coughed and said, "Stop arguing, surrender."
What's the big deal if you can run out again after you've died?"
Just as Mo Zhengmin was about to continue speaking, Wang Dongnian said: "Commander Mo, we are all Chinese, and dying in battle is honorable. We must not surrender. Traitors will not have a good end."
A few people wanted to talk again, but the Japanese came up again. At this time, intensive gunfire sounded from the west and south of Maojiayan almost at the same time. Several people were surprised when they heard the thunder of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. Mo
Zhengmin was an old soldier and knew that it was the sound of artillery fire. He thought it was the enemy's heavy artillery unit that had arrived. He covered his ears and lay down while shouting: "Hurry up and raise the white flag, we surrender!"
After saying that, he didn't hear the sound of artillery shells exploding around him for a long time. Instead, the brothers were cheering. Mo Zhengmin got up and looked up. Groups of artillery shells fell into the Japanese attack formation, blowing up the little Japanese.
The blood was pouring out, and even the Japanese artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions were blown to pieces.
Mo Zhengmin reacted quickly and immediately realized that reinforcements had arrived. He stopped talking about surrender and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived. Aim at the little devil and give me a hard beating!"
Wang Dongnian then shouted: "Comrades, fight hard, our main force of the Eighth Route Army is coming up, don't let the little devil escape."
A large group of surviving soldiers all regained their energy and were no longer afraid of the whole army being annihilated. They began to focus on shooting at the Japanese.
Not long after, Zhang Buyun's defeated troops bypassed Maojiayan and fled to the north and south. Their escaping style looked like a lost dog. Soon, Mo Zhengmin and others saw the Eighth Route Army troops who were chasing the defeated troops.
, just as he was about to consider whether to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, the Eighth Route Army from the south of the village entered Maojiayan.
Zhong Mingbiao was a cadre sent by the central government to the 18th Red Regiment during the passage, and is now the commander of the new fifth regiment. After receiving Zhang Yicheng's order to enter Maojiayan, intercept Zhang Buyun's defeated troops and counterattack the Japanese, he and political commissar Huang
After meritorious service, he directly led the New Fifth Regiment into Maojiayan to take over the position of Mo Zhengmin's troops.
Seeing Mo Zhengmin, Zhong Mingbiao raised his hand to salute. After Mo Zhengmin returned the salute, Zhong Mingbiao said: "Commander Mo, I am Zhong Mingbiao, commander of the New Fifth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. I have been ordered to take over your position and encircle the Japanese and puppets."
Army. Please withdraw and rest, and we will talk to you after we have eliminated the Japanese." After saying that, without waiting for Mo Zhengmin's reply, Zhong Mingbiao asked political commissar Huang Yougong to organize Mo Zhengmin's department to contain the troops, and then he took the troops and marched forward.
Went to the position.
Major General Tsuchiya was confused by a series of changes. It was not until the remnants of Zhang Buyun's troops rushed to the Japanese position, and then the Artillery Regiment of the 5th Teaching Brigade began to bombard the Japanese army that Major General Tsuchiya realized that this battle could not be defeated.
After being defeated again, they hurriedly ordered the Japanese troops to shoot at the puppet troops, forcing them to turn around and fight with the sudden appearance of the Chinese troops.
The Japanese machine gun fire finally stopped the fleeing puppet troops, but the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army and the bullets that followed them made the puppet troops start to flee north again. Those who felt that they could not escape pretended to be dead on the spot. Only those habitual bandits,
Only then would he lie down and shoot at the Eighth Route Army's pursuing team.
At this time, the 13th Teaching Regiment had already detoured back to the east side of the Japanese army and began to attack the Japanese army with mortars, infantry cannons, grenades and light and heavy machine guns. The New Fifth Regiment also took over the position of Mo Zhengmin's headquarters and ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-ponged in front of the Japanese army.
The attack started. Taught the 14th Regiment, the 15th Regiment, the Supplementary Regiment, and the Lunan Independent Regiment attacked the Japanese from the west. The artillery regiment's artillery bombarded the concentration of Japanese and puppet troops, hitting the little Japanese until they cried.
mother.
Major General Tsuchiya saw that he could not leave after hesitating for a while. Regardless of the fact that he still had not figured out the number of the Chinese troops coming here, he ordered the wounded to stay behind to block the attack. He took the remaining troops into the car and hurriedly went to Juxian County.
direction to retreat.
Major General Tsuchiya did not know what kind of troops he encountered, so he issued a stupid retreat order. If he had known that it was the troops of Liu Yimin, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, he probably would not have retreated, but would have stayed and resisted to the death.
The Eighth Route Army caused some trouble.
This retreat of the Japanese army was tantamount to issuing a general offensive order. All the bugles of the Eighth Route Army were sounded. Hong Chaoyuan even sent all the reserves forward. He also ordered the artillery regiment to carry out blocking bombardment and block the Japanese retreat route.
As a result, the Japs' cars suffered heavy losses. The artillery shells were so dense that the road was filled with potholes and the cars couldn't run at all. Japs were constantly being hit by bullets flying from all directions and torn apart by the shells.
Some unlucky Japanese were even hit by artillery shells in the car, resulting in broken arms and legs, stained with blood and dirty flesh.
By this time, Tsuchwu soldiers and horses had already had a premonition that the end was coming, and it was impossible for them to return to Juxian County, because a large Chinese army also appeared in the north, which not only blocked the puppet troops fleeing north, but also followed the puppet troops to suppress them.
Come up.
Seeing that they had been surrounded, the Bushido spirit in the Tsuchiya soldiers and horses was completely aroused, and they ordered the remaining troops to build fortifications on the spot, and then sent a report to the Second Army saying that they were besieged by the main force of the Chinese government forces, requesting emergency tactical guidance, and gave the garrison
The Japs in Linyi, Feixian, Yishui, and Mengyin sent reports, asking them for emergency reinforcements. Unfortunately, the Japs stopped on the way to escape. There was no village in front of them, no store in the back, and there were no ravines here to serve as natural positions. Little Japs
At this stop, there was no time to build a position, and it became a living target for the Eighth Route Army's light and heavy machine gunners and rifle shooters to compete in shooting accuracy.
Hong Chao, who had caught up, realized that the Japs had stopped escaping and were preparing to defend, and he couldn't help but sneer. After laughing, he ordered to concentrate all the heavy firepower of the entire brigade and beat the Japanese troops at the center, making sure that the Japs surrendered voluntarily.
Mountain artillery, field artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, everything that was supposed to come came, and the artillery fire completely enveloped the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.
Seeing that the Chinese army was simply ravaging the Imperial Army with artillery fire, and the artillery and machine guns were firing extremely accurately, Major General Tsuchiya knew that he had encountered the elite of the Chinese army this time. Think about it, such an elite Setani detachment was all in Taierzhuang.
Now, my own independent sixth brigade has nothing left.
Major General Tsuchiya Hōma, who had already calmed down, ordered the flags and documents to be burned, and ignored commanding the battle. He ordered the radio to send electricity to the Second Army and asked it to be forwarded to his wife and son. Tsuchiya Hōma said in the telegram: "Dear
Raiko, dear Masahiro, when you received the telegram, I had already died. What I want to tell you is that I feel sorry for His Majesty the Emperor, but I feel sorry for the dead soldiers and you. Only now do I understand that guarding in Japan
It is such a blessing to live an honest life with my wife and son, but it is a pity that I will never have that opportunity again in this life."
Tsuchiya's soldiers wanted to say more, but a cannonball flew and blew him completely back to the east.
The remaining Japs were all annihilated under the attack of the 5th Jiao Brigade and the Shandong Southeast Detachment. Hong Chaoyuan ordered the troops to quickly clean the battlefield to find the bodies of Liu Heiqi, Zhang Buyun and the Japanese soldiers who had independently formed the 6th Brigade.
The two anti-aircraft guns and two anti-aircraft machine guns brought by the division commander when he inspected Cangxian County were set up in preparation for dealing with Japanese aircraft.
The results of the battle came out quickly, including the body of Zhang Buyun who was killed in Ma Bian uniform. Hong Chaoyuan immediately sent a report of victory to Liu Yimin, saying that in this battle in Xiazhuang Town, a total of 2,100 Japanese troops were wiped out, and the puppet army Zhang Buyun's tribe was wiped out.
More than 5,000 people were killed, and more than 2,000 people from Liu Hei's Third Division of the puppet army were killed. The habitual bandits Liu Heiqi, Zhang Buyun and Major General Tsuchiya Bingma, commander of the Japanese independent mixed sixth brigade, were captured. 10 usable cars and infantry guns were seized.
12 guns and 8,300 guns. Mo Zhengmin’s troops suffered heavy casualties, from 5,000 to 2,200.
After sending the victory telegram, Hong Chaoyuan, Hu Xuerong, Wang Nanhu, and Guo Zihua held a small meeting together. Guo Zihua conveyed Liu Yimin's instructions and proposed that in accordance with Order No. 1, the First Corps of the Lunan People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Corps be organized into the Southeast Shandong Detachment.
The fourth regiment has Zhang Guangzhong as its commander, He Yiping as its political commissar, and Wang Jian as its new director of the political department. The vacancies can be recruited from young people from southeastern Shandong who request to join the army. They can also be recruited from Zhang Buyun's captured soldiers who have recently joined the army and have no crimes. General Mo
The Ministry of Civil Affairs organized the Second Shandong Independent Regiment of the Fifth Teaching Brigade. The Fifth Teaching Brigade sent cadres to the regiment for reorganization. It was recommended that Mo Zhengmin be appointed as the leader of the Second Shandong Independent Regiment, Wang Dongnian as the director of the Political Department, and Wang Naizheng as the Political Department.
The candidates for deputy director and political commissar shall be considered and selected by the head of the Fifth Teaching Brigade. All existing officers of the Ministry of Education will be sent to Longting to study, and the unified distribution work will be completed after the study. In the next step, the Fifth Teaching Brigade and the Southeast Shandong Detachment will be unified under the command of Brigadier Hong Chaoyuan to take advantage of the victory.
Quickly eliminate the Japanese in Zhucheng County, Rizhao County, Linyi County, Fei County, Mengyin County, and Yishui County, and initially form a unified southeast Shandong base area. Then the fifth teaching brigade went into rest, and the southeast Shandong detachment mobilized the masses in the base area
, form political power, establish local armed forces, prepare to mobilize human, financial and material resources, and do a good job in front-line support.
After Guo Zihua finished speaking, Hong Chaoyuan and Hu Xuerong discussed it and immediately decided to send Qi Fengnian, commander of the first battalion of the 13th Religious Regiment, as the leader of the Second Shandong Independent Regiment, Fang Zheng, director of the political department of the 13th Religious Regiment, as the political commissar of the Second Shandong Independent Regiment, and Wang Dongnian as the political commissar of the Second Shandong Independent Regiment.
Deputy Director of the Regiment Political Department, and Mo Zhengmin serves as Deputy Chief of Staff of the Fifth Brigade.
