Zeng Zhongsheng stood in front of the window of a private house near the Chai Wen River in Beiteng Village, holding a telescope to observe the battlefield. He saw that most of the Japs had already entered the river, leaving only a few infantry cannons and dozens of Japs responsible for protecting the artillery on the bank.
, I laughed in my heart. This little devil claims to be the best-trained army in Asia. It seems that he is just showing up. He doesn't even know what is happening on the other side of the river, so he dares to let the troops wade across the river. He simply doesn't know.
What is it like to die?
After laughing, Zeng Zhongsheng grabbed the phone and ordered the troops to eliminate all the Japanese and try to capture the puppet troops. After giving the order, Zeng Zhongsheng was worried and said to Cai Zhong: "Director Cai, hurry up and take a look to the north. There are some puppet troops there.
Don't let the troops kill them all. Keeping them is still useful. If you go too late, it will be too late, and the battle will be over soon!"
In fact, Cai Zhong has a deeper understanding of the combat effectiveness of the instructors' troops than Zeng Zhongsheng. Starting from the Sharp Knife Company during the breakout of Xinwei, Cai Zhong has been integrated with this troops. It can be said that he, like Liu Yimin, is as familiar with the troops as he is.
Just like he is familiar with his own body. When Zeng Zhongsheng said this, Cai Zhong knew that if he left a little later, all those puppet troops would really die. There was no other reason. There were concentrated firepower units here, but the artillery brigade did not open fire.
, the heavy machine gun regiment with a force close to that of a brigade would tear the Japanese and puppet troops to pieces. Therefore, after listening to Zeng Zhongsheng's words, Cai Zhong took the guards, turned around, left the headquarters, and ran towards the north of the village.
Cai Zhong arrived a little late. Except for a few colorful ones who knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender, most of the puppet troops were shot to death like the Japanese. No one is to blame for this. There were too few Japanese and puppet troops.
Well, a brigade of Japanese soldiers plus two companies of puppet troops, that is, thousands of soldiers, whether they are wading across the river or staying on the shore to serve as security and fire cover, they are all targets. Because they
The opponents they faced were stronger than they imagined.
The Japs who were crossing the river in the south of the village were suddenly covered by a sudden burst of fierce machine gun fire. They fell into the river like dumplings, and the blood dyed Chai Wen River red. The eyes of the Japs commander who was commanding on the bank were red.
, waving his command knife and kept ordering the artillery fire. Unfortunately, he had just set up several infantry cannons and only had time to test-fire one shell. The artillery position was covered by a hail of bullets fired from behind.
The Japanese captain's right arm was broken by a bullet, but he still stood tenaciously shouting "shelling". After shouting for a long time, there was no movement, so he woke up, looked around, and saw that the battle was over.
Chinese troops and villagers all rushed out and began to use tools such as hooks and sickles to salvage the corpses and weapons of the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the river. Looking around again, I saw a group of soldiers with the word "eight routes" printed on their armbands holding rifles.
There was a bright bayonet on his arm, and he was looking at himself coldly.
The Japanese captain finally understood that he had met the legendary Eighth Route Army, and maybe he was the legendary Eighth Route Army instructor of China's most powerful Liu Yimin. In this way, everything became clear. Some time ago, the main force of the 13th Brigade was independently mixed.
The annihilation, the smashing of the Dawenkou garrison and the disappearance of the planes should all be done by this Eighth Route Army. The 20th Army Corps of Tang Enbo, the Ranger Corps, and the Chinese Gendarmerie were so miraculous that it turned out to be the work of the Eighth Route Army! Ridiculous.
My arrogant and smart superiors still don’t know who their opponents are!
Having figured it out, the Japanese captain laughed miserably, knelt down facing the east, picked up the command knife with difficulty with his left hand, and pointed it at his heart, then closed his eyes tightly and muttered to himself. I don't know what he said.
He hit something, and finally he leaned down, letting the sword penetrate his heart, and he fell down beside the already quiet Chai Wen River.
There were only about twenty puppet soldiers captured, including two wounded officers.
Zhang Zili, director of the political office of the Tai'an detachment in charge of interrogating the puppet troops, is an old Red Army cadre. He participated in a series of battles since the Xiaoshui ambush of the 18th Red Regiment and had a deep understanding of Liu Yimin's method of using enemy prisoners. Therefore, he brought the puppet troops to
The soldiers gathered up and interrogated them separately. The two puppet army officers were interrogated first. Unexpectedly, these two puppet army officers were transferred from the Manchurian National Defense Force. They had been deeply poisoned by Japan's enslavement education, and they even shamelessly defended the Japanese army.
He said that the corruption and incompetence of the Kuomintang government was the source of social unrest and the poverty of the people. He also said that the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese army, causing the Japanese army to retaliate against civilians. The key to solving the problem in North China is that the National Government should recognize the situation in North China, negotiate seriously with the Japanese army, and restore North China
The public security situation allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment. If the Eighth Route Army wanted to negotiate with the Imperial Army, the two of them could be a matchmaker. Their elders had previously participated in negotiations with Japan and had experience in this area.
Zhang Zili laughed angrily, and instead of chatting with these two brainwashed traitors, he directly waved his hand and asked them to be pulled out and shot.
After the puppet officers were shot, the remaining puppet soldiers could no longer withstand the interrogation. They quickly explained everything they knew, saying that they were the North China Security Army, assisting the imperial army in garrisoning traffic points, and were now in Dawenkou.
There is only a Japanese railway garrison squadron of 160 people and a company of the North China Security Army of about 90 people. There is also a 50-man gendarmerie. The gendarmerie is stationed in the town. The railway garrison and a company of the security army are stationed at the train station and
Baotou Village at the railway bridgehead. As for the airport, due to the destruction of the airport command system last time, the Japanese army has not deployed aircraft or garrisoned troops for the time being, and it is in an idle state.
The situation reported by the puppet troops was consistent with what our army had learned, indicating that the enemy situation in Dawenkou had not changed. On the spot, he told the more than 20 surviving puppet troops that as long as they brought our troops into Dawenkou Town, everyone would be rewarded with a reward of 50,000 yuan.
After the mission is completed, those who want to join our army are welcome and want to go home, and each person will be given another 5 yuan for travel expenses, and they can come and go freely.
Some of these puppet soldiers are ruffians, and some are desperate poor people who are just trying to make ends meet, but no matter what the situation is, they all like white coins. When I heard that the Eighth Route Army not only refused to kill them, but also offered such attractive terms, I was shocked.
They all spilled out, and everyone agreed.
After listening to Zhang Zili's report, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong knew that Zhang Zili wanted to use the puppet army to attack Dawenkou. Cai Zhong, in particular, remembered that on the Long March, Chief of Staff Liu Bocheng used Guizhou army prisoners to break open the Zunyi city gate and Liu Yimin led his army to disguise the Sichuan army and attack thousands of miles away.
The legendary stories of Yibin, Leshan, and Chengdu made me couldn't help but take another look at Zhang Zili, and I felt extremely happy. I felt that Liu Yimin's greatest contribution was not how many enemies he destroyed or how many supplies he captured, but how many advanced tactical ideas he brought out.
Cadres who can act independently. With these cadres, it will not be a problem to build a team of any size.
Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong immediately decided that Zhang Zili would lead a regiment of the Tai'an detachment to capture Dawenkou Town. The main force quickly moved northward and set up a battlefield north of Dawenkou to deal with Japanese reinforcements.
Zhang Zili and Zhang Haitao discussed and transferred a regiment and handed it over to Zhang Zili to lead. Considering that the walls of Dawenkou Town were strong and easy to defend but difficult to attack, Zhang Haitao ordered the artillery battalion of the detachment to follow Zhang Zili, just in case.
Zhang Zili then decided to use the fourth company of the 1st and 2nd Battalions to disguise the Japanese and puppet troops, while the rest of the troops took advantage of the cover of night to keep a distance, and then quietly followed up.
So, when darkness shrouded the earth, the Japanese and puppet troops who went to sweep Beiteng Village made a triumphant return. The puppet troops were still walking in front, followed by the Japanese brigade, carrying sun flags and escorting ordinary people tied in a string.
Using a flashlight, we arrived at Dawenkou Town.
The sound of gunfire in Beiteng Village had already alerted the defenders of Dawenkou Town. The gendarmerie, railway garrison and the remaining company of puppet troops had all stepped up their vigilance. There were double posts of Japanese and puppet sentries at the gate of the town.
However, due to the limited number of remaining troops and the need to defend the train station, railway bridge, and barracks, the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall seemed a bit sparse.
Seeing the triumphant return of the Japanese and puppet troops, the defenders were relieved from top to bottom. Especially the puppet troops in front and the puppet troops Lao Cai and Lao Wang who were standing guard greeted each other randomly, and all the Japanese and puppet troops' little vigilance was gone.
The country of Java has gone, and everyone is busy fighting for the chickens and ducks carried by the puppet soldiers.
When all the large Japanese and puppet troops entered the town, and when some of the more thoughtful Japanese or puppet soldiers realized that something was wrong, the cold bayonets had already stabbed into their hearts.
Gunshots inevitably rang out at the military police station. There was no way, the military police were more vigilant than ordinary Japanese soldiers. They could easily see through the identity of the pretenders. The reason was very simple. No one among the captured puppet soldiers knew it.
The command of the Japanese sentry at the gate of the gendarmerie. However, when the army entered the city, the gendarmerie of only 50 people did not have any heavy weapons, so how could they stop the Eighth Route Army's attack? Fortunately, Zhang Zili knew that the Japanese gendarmerie were difficult to deal with, so he put them last
, the troops have inserted themselves near the station and railway bridge, occupying favorable terrain.
The military police saw Amaterasu amidst the roar of grenades and infantry guns, but the railway garrison and the puppet troops guarding the station and railway bridge began to resist desperately and asked for help from the Japanese troops in Tai'an, claiming that they had encountered
An attack by the Eighth Route Army disguised as the Imperial Army and the North China Security Army.
When Zhang Zili saw that the sneak attack turned into a strong attack, he rushed to the station. When he arrived, he saw that the Japanese had built a bunker under the platform. Several bunkers formed a crossfire, and there were no blind spots. The machine gun fire made the soldiers unable to raise their heads. The troops could not even lift their heads.
They couldn't rush up. A bunker was built with sandbags on the platform, blocking the troops' attack channel from a high position. The two demolition teams were discovered by the Japanese when they rushed up, and they died under the crossfire of several Japanese bunkers.
Zhang Zili couldn't help but feel furious. He called the artillery battalion commander Yang Shuren and asked him to bring up the flat-firing artillery and high-altitude dual-purpose artillery, and immediately kill the Japanese bunkers, and use the infantry cannon to kill the Japanese firepower points on the platform.
After issuing the order, Zhang Zili quickly reported the situation to Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong, and asked Chief of Staff Zeng and Director Cai to pay attention to the Japanese troop movements in the direction of Tai'an.
Historically, the Eighth Route Army did not have level-firing artillery. When seeing the Japanese and puppet army's artillery towers, there was no good solution except to organize blasting. Later, they invented a method of converting mortars into level-firing artillery. Today's Eighth Route Army is different, especially the instructors
, has an artillery brigade. Although the caliber of the artillery is small, the number is large. In addition, the main force is equipped with rocket launchers and has learned to shoot anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns horizontally. It has no problem at all to deal with the Japanese bunkers and gun towers. However, the Tai'an detachment was formed
Time was short and there were few rocket launchers. Zhang Haitao generally refused to use them, and only allowed tanks and armored vehicles used to deal with the Japs. Fortunately, the Japs' flat-fire artillery and high-level dual-purpose artillery, infantry artillery, and artillery batteries were seized at Jieshou Station last time.
The artillery camp was replaced, and the fortifications now used to deal with the Japs were well used.
Yang Shuren performed well in the Jieshou battle last time, and later fought several small battles with the troops on Jinpu Road, which was regarded as training for the newly transferred soldiers to the artillery battalion. After receiving the order, he immediately
All the flat-firing artillery, high-level dual-purpose artillery, and infantry artillery were pushed up. After preparations were made, they aimed at the Japanese bunkers and firepower points and fired.
Seeing that they had blocked the Eighth Route Army's attack, the Japanese became rampant. An interpreter shouted at the shooting hole: "Tuba Road, I know that you are bandits and live by eating rich households. Surrender quickly, and the imperial army will ensure that you eat rice."
White noodles, cigarettes to smoke, and small drinks to drink. As long as you surrender, Taijun said, the golden ticket will be big, the official position will be big, and I will also get you some foreign students to be your wives. If you don't know the truth, as soon as the imperial army arrives,
Let you die without a burial!"
Before he finished speaking, a cannonball flew straight into the shooting hole and exploded in the bunker. There was no longer any noise of ghosts crying or wolves howling inside.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army actually had flat-fire artillery to deal with the bunkers, the Japanese panicked and fired more fiercely with the machine guns, but it was of no avail. With the roar of the artillery, not only the bunkers under the platform were blown down one by one, but also the fire points on the platform were destroyed.
They were all mute. In the end, under the leadership of the squadron leader, the little Japanese, who had no skills, actually raised their bayonets and howled towards the Eighth Route Army in an attempt to engage in hand-to-hand combat, repel the Eighth Route Army's attack, and destroy the Eighth Route Army's artillery. It's a pity that the Japanese
I don’t know, but what they met was the instructor in the Eighth Route Army. What the division commander has always taught is that problems that can be solved with artillery shells do not require bullets, problems that can be solved with bullets do not require grenades, and problems that can be solved with grenades do not require bayonets. Hand-to-hand fighting is just
Only allowed to be used when ammunition is exhausted.
Looking at the 50 or so Japs who were screaming and rushing towards him, Zhang Zili sneered a few times without even looking. He turned around and ordered the Yangshu people to move their positions immediately to reinforce the battle to capture the Japanese and puppet stronghold in Baotou Village, west of the railway bridge.
.
After Yang Shuren gave the order to move positions, he felt that the platform where the sound of gunfire had just been heard became quiet. When he turned his head and looked around, he saw that the Japanese who had just rushed up with bayonets all fell to the ground, without exception.
It was all a pool of dirty blood. Yang Shuren couldn't help but cursed the "idiot" he had learned secretly, turned around and led the artillery battalion towards the railway bridge.
This Baotou Village is right next to the Dawenkou Railway Bridge. The last time the instructors attacked Dawenkou, the Japanese fortifications including gun towers and bunkers were destroyed, and even the railway bridge was demolished.
The Japanese later spent a lot of effort to repair the bridge and build the fortifications again. However, this time the Japanese learned a lesson and demolished all the houses around the stronghold, forming a wide open area for shooting. There are still some animals raised in the stronghold.
Big wolf dog, always ready to deal with sneak attackers.
When the Yangshu people arrived with the artillery battalion, our army was shooting at the Japanese and puppet troops, with grenades and heavy machine guns firing non-stop.
The artillery battalion now has sufficient experience. Yang Shuren gave the order, and the artillery positions were built in a short time. It was still the old method, with flat-firing artillery and high-level dual-purpose artillery to deal with the bunkers and gun towers of the Japanese and puppet troops, and infantry artillery to deal with the trenches.
The Japs inside. After a few rounds, the Japs' bunker was destroyed.
Before the battle began, some of the Japanese and puppet troops in this stronghold had been taken away to guard the city gates and walls. They were wiped out when Zhang Zili led his troops to pretend that the Japanese and puppet troops entered the town. There were only more than 30 Japanese soldiers left.
There were only about 30 people in the puppet army, relying on their solid fortifications to resist stubbornly.
When they saw that the bunker was destroyed, the puppet soldiers on the gun tower were first frightened. Several puppet soldiers began to move closer together, and they began to murmur after they got close to each other. However, these puppet soldiers were inexperienced, so they ignored the discussion among themselves and forgot about it.
He killed the devils around him.
The Japs squad leader on the turret already knew about the betrayal of Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun, which led to the destruction of the 2,000 imperial troops led by Major General Tsuchiya. Of course, what he knew was Liu Yimin's deliberately forged false information. How could he know the truth? But.
, this is enough. As soon as the battle began, the Japs team leader specially arranged for 6 Japs, two in a group, each group on one floor, guarding a crooked machine gun to monitor the puppet army's operations. These few
All the actions of the puppet troops fell into the eyes of the Japanese. Although the Japanese soldiers did not know the specific content of their discussion, they knew that they had absolutely bad intentions, so they directly pulled the trigger of the machine gun and beat several puppet soldiers into bloody gourds.
Now the puppet army gave up, and internal strife immediately broke out in the artillery tower. The Japanese and the puppet soldiers immediately faced each other with swords and guns. Unfortunately, the Japanese were already on guard. The puppet soldiers rushed into battle out of righteous indignation, and most of them opened fire in succession.
He was beaten to death by the Japanese without a chance to take a shot.
After the Japanese suppressed the rebellion of the puppet troops, they discovered that the shells from Tubal's flat-fire artillery had penetrated the blockhouse. With three loud noises, the blockhouse collapsed, burying all the participating Japanese soldiers.
After receiving the news that the Baotou Village stronghold had been captured, Zhang Zili immediately sent a report to Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong, reporting that our army had captured Dawenkou and all the Japanese and puppet troops had been annihilated.
After receiving the report, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong ordered Zhang Zili to leave two companies behind to organize the masses to confiscate and move the Japanese and puppet property and build the railway. The main force concentrated to the south, preparing to ambush the Japanese reinforcements coming from the direction of Ciyao Town and Yanzhou.
After receiving the order, Zhang Zili ordered the first commander of the Tai'an detachment to lead the main force to move to the southern end of Dawenkou Town to prepare for the construction of fortifications. He quickly sent a reconnaissance platoon to conduct southward reconnaissance, pay attention to intercepting the Japanese phone lines, and report the enemy's situation immediately. He personally led it.
The two companies began to mobilize the masses in the town, destroy the railway, and seize Japanese and puppet assets.
