When Sun Manxi led the main force of the Second Regiment to attack Hebei, the fourth battalion of the Second Regiment also launched an attack on Yinji.
When Lei Jiesan set out, he left behind a battalion of troops to guard the nest. It was said to be a battalion, but in fact it only had about 200 people.
Lei Jie took the first step, and the battalion commander who stayed behind slipped away. He had a good friend in the town, and he was always secretive. Now that Lei Jie is gone, he suddenly became the boss in Yinji, and he should act openly and honestly.
Go to a date to meet up with her, and save her from scolding her that she is just a follower of Riesling.
Of course, the battalion commander did not forget what Riesling told him before he left, and strictly ordered the brothers to stand guard and guard the fortifications. The Eighth Route Army was so rampant that it occupied the entire county seat of Suxian County some time ago. The little Yinji could still
Is it more difficult to fight than Suxian County? Now that the Eighth Route Army can attack Youji, maybe it can also attack Yinji. Alas, since the Eighth Route Army has been established, it is no longer easy to be a traitor. I am always on tenterhooks all day long, so it is better to be careful.
.
Although the battalion commander issued very strict orders, which soldier is blind? The brothers all knew that the battalion commander was going to find a secret door again, and stood at attention with a gun in front of the battalion commander, pretending to be a qualified soldier.
As soon as the battalion commander left, the brothers covered their mouths and snickered, and then started laughing and joking in a nondescript manner. It didn't take long, except for those who were standing guard normally, the remaining puppet soldiers came out of the barracks in twos and threes, carrying guns on their backs, and filled the streets.
I took a stroll and went to extort money from merchants.
Because Yinji is the hub of north-south and east-west transportation and one of the main docks on the Suihe River, it was still very lively before the Anti-Japanese War. Many warehouses were opened in the town to sell goods from the north and south. There are also many restaurants, mainly serving boatmen and merchants.
After the Japs occupied Yinji, they started burning, killing and looting, and most of the merchants in the town fled. Later, Lei Jiesan became a puppet soldier and garrisoned Yinji. The situation became relatively stable, and businessmen slowly returned to Yinji.
The market was open for business again, and the market actually recovered a bit.
Lei Jiesan's puppet army is different from Liu Futing's puppet army. Liu Futing's puppet army is basically bandits. Lei Jiesan's puppet army is more complex in composition. There are people who broke up when the Japanese retreated, bandits and ruffians.
There are also those who purely carry guns and eat food, and a small number of people come because Lei Jiesan is the original anti-Japanese team. Moreover, there is another point, the vast majority of Lei Jiesan's puppet troops are Lingbei ground people.
Yinji is also a famous flood and drought dock. The puppet soldiers have become very familiar with each other on the streets. It has not been long. The smokers went to the opium den, the drinkers went to the tavern, and the drunkards went to the town.
There are about 200 people in a low-class brothel in the city, but everyone has a place to go.
At this time, gunshots were heard from the north of Suihe River. The puppet soldiers who were shopping for entertainment suddenly panicked. Not knowing what was going on, they ran out of each business shop dragging their guns. Lian was shooting at Xianghao's house.
The flirtatious pseudo-battalion commander ran out with guns in hand, shouting in panic, "Where to shoot? Where to shoot?"
The puppet soldiers were panicked, and the merchants on the street were busy closing their doors. The Eighth Route Army did not panic. The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion of the Second Regiment were as agile as civets and suddenly appeared in front of the Yinji puppet army's sentry post.
Gunshots sounded like popping beans, and the panicked puppet soldiers couldn't figure out where the Eighth Route Army wearing steel helmets and Eighth Route Army uniforms appeared from, and they were so surprised that they could stuff wild duck eggs in their mouths.
Lei Jiesan's puppet army is not the puppet Manchurian National Defense Force and the North China Security Army, nor is it Liang Hongzhi's regular army. It is a local wandering force among the puppet army. Seriously, there is no strong combat effectiveness at all. And the Eighth Route Army
The second regiment taught the fourth battalion, which was the main force among the main forces and the elite among the elite. They rushed into Yinji and faced this group of panicked puppet troops, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
The puppet troops were unable to organize effective resistance in a hurry and suffered heavy casualties. They soon became a rout and fled towards the Yinjiadu Pier like a group of bereaved dogs.
Before they arrived at the dock, an experienced soldier raised his head and saw a large group of Eighth Route Army troops running across the Suihe Stone Bridge, heading towards Yinji.
Now that the attack was over, the Eighth Route Army attacked from both sides. The puppet soldiers who were lucky enough to be alive could not even think about surrendering, so they knelt down and begged for mercy.
After occupying Yinji, Sun Manxi found the captured puppet battalion commander, put the shell gun and five silver coins on the table, and said: "I will give you two ways. One way, I will stab you with a bayonet and throw you into the Sui River."
Feed the bastard; the other one is to reward you with five pieces of ocean. You can stay and go as you please. You can join the army as a soldier, or you can go home and have your wife. Tell me, which one do you choose?"
This fake battalion commander was also from the vicinity of Yinji. He turned out to be a member of the Communist Party. After being defeated, he fled back to his hometown to hide. Lei Jie found him when he was raising his troops and appointed him as a battalion commander.
He originally thought that if he was caught by the Eighth Route Army, there would be no way out, but he didn't expect that he could still choose a way out. Without even thinking, the pseudo-battalion commander grabbed the silver coins on the table and put them into his pocket. He opened his mouth and said: "Commander of the Eighth Route Army, tell me."
, what did you ask me to do!"
Sun Manxi smiled with satisfaction, patted the pseudo-battalion commander on the shoulder, and said: "Call the little devils at Shicun Stronghold, Lingbi County, and Huigou Stronghold, and tell them that the Eighth Route Army Anhui *** Battalion organized thousands of
A group of ordinary people armed with shotguns and cannons besieged the Youji stronghold. Commander Lei led his troops to reinforce, but were blocked near Zhuji. Tubal Road was blocked by mine formations, making it difficult for the team to move. We requested the imperial army to reinforce as soon as possible."
When the puppet battalion commander heard this, he obediently grabbed the phone and called out.
In fact, what Sun Manxi compiled was full of loopholes. If the Japanese army did a little analysis, they would be able to see the flaws. But Sun Manxi knew that Japanese reinforcements should have been dispatched. The purpose of making this call was to know whether the Japs had been dispatched and roughly where they had gone.
Sure enough, as soon as the puppet battalion commander called, the Japanese and puppet troops in the county reported that the imperial army brigade had been dispatched and was advancing towards Yang Tuan. The Japanese translator at the Tokimura stronghold said on the phone that the order they received was to dispatch a small team
, went to Yinji to cooperate with Lei Jie's three troops for reinforcements. The team had already gone north with Lei Jie's three troops for reinforcements, but the troops did not receive new reinforcement orders. The Japanese and puppet troops at the Hugou stronghold responded that they had not received reinforcement orders.
When Sun Manxi heard this, he could only attack the Japanese and puppet troops from Lingbi County first. Once the fighting started here, he did not need to call the Japs himself, they would ask for help themselves.
No longer chatting with the fake battalion commander, Sun Manxi asked the soldiers to take the fake battalion commander down, let him drink tea, smoke, and say hello, and maybe he would be asked to help him later.
The puppet battalion commander was extremely moved and repeatedly assured Sun Manxi that as long as the Eighth Route Army needed him, he would do his best. Although he followed Lei Jiesan and wore the skin of a traitor, when Lei Jiesan originally persuaded him to take up a military position, he was fighting against the anti-Japanese forces.
The banner did not say that he wanted to be a traitor. It turned out that he had also met Zhenzhang with the little Japanese in the camp, and there was no ambiguity about killing the Japanese.
After seeing off the puppet battalion commander, Sun Manxi sent a report to the brigade headquarters, reporting on the capture of Yinji, the complete annihilation of Lei Jie's three troops, his determination to eliminate Lingbi in Yinji to reinforce the Japanese army, and to mobilize the Japanese and puppet troops from surrounding strongholds to come for reinforcements.
The brigade headquarters called back and agreed, and informed that the preaching brigade had eliminated Liu Futing's troops and was heading towards Yinji and would arrive soon. Wang Dahu and Sun Manxi jointly commanded the Yinji battle.
Sun Manxi immediately made combat deployment and ordered the supply company that was cleaning the battlefield in Suihebei to disguise the Eighth Route Army blocking troops and fire blank guns to create the illusion that Lei Jie's three units were blocked. Three main battalions and regimental fire support battalions were deployed south of Yinji, deploying
Disguise your position and prepare for an ambush from the Japs.
By the time Wang Dahu led the first teaching regiment to arrive, Sun Manxi commanded the second teaching regiment to have completed the ambush deployment.
The commanders of the regiments of the 1st Teaching Brigade should have been promoted to brigade commanders long ago. However, because they are the first-class main force, and now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the teaching division cannot openly expand the division-level troops, resulting in the loss of the main cadres of several main brigades.
Promotion is very slow. Leaders of the main brigade like Wang Dahu and Sun Manxi were already captains during the Seventh Red Army, and they are still captains now, which is equivalent to standing still. However, although their positions have not been promoted
, the command ability has really improved. If you look at Sun Manxi's deployment, in addition to using firepower on both sides, he also took into account the reinforcement of the Japanese and puppet troops in Tokimura, Huigou, and Yangtuan strongholds. Especially Tokimura and
Huigou is the main wharf on the Suihe River, and the little devil has a motorboat. If reinforcements are sent, they will come very quickly.
After reading Sun Manxi's deployment, Wang Dahu couldn't help but said: "Captain Sun, in this formation, not to mention the Japanese who attacked Lingbi, even the Japanese from Suxian County came to reinforce us. We will accept them all according to the order."
Sun Manxi was not in a good mood because of the ambush of Lei Jie's three troops just now. He opened his mouth to complain: "To attack one Lingbi County, two brigades have to be mobilized. It is a complete waste of troops. If the little devils come to help from all sides, then it is not in vain to run here.
One trip. If all the little devils become cowards, it will be a pity for the soles of the soldiers."
Wang Dahu joked that Sun Manxi was going crazy if he wanted to fight a big battle. A division would fight, and a small team would fight. As long as it is against small Japanese, no matter how small the battle is, killing one Japanese might save China a few lives.
How come ten or even hundreds of people can't settle the accounts?
Sun Manxi smiled and said, I am not complaining, but I am moving around covertly, and in the end I only fight small battles, and all I destroy are the trash troops of the puppet army and the Japanese garrison, and I feel that there is nowhere to use my strength.
Wang Dahu still laughed at Sun Manxi, saying that he was addicted to fighting big battles. This time across Northeast Anhui, there would probably be no large-scale battles. The entire campaign should be composed of small battles. There is no way, this area is Japanese
The forces in the rear of the puppet army are already dispersed. If our army does not launch a large-scale attack, the Japs will not shrink their troops. Once the battle is fought today, it is estimated that the Japs will shrink, and those small strongholds will be abandoned and move towards the county seat.
Even the Japanese troops in counties far away from the main traffic lines will give up. They are also afraid of being defeated by our troops one by one. Therefore, if they don't move, they will be done. If they move, they will attack quickly and do not give the little devils time to shrink and concentrate.
After Wang Dahu said this, Sun Manxi proposed that after the ambush started and the main force of the Japs was eliminated, the First Religion Regiment no longer needed to stay in Yinji and should immediately attack Lingbi County. The Second Religion Regiment was waiting here to eliminate other reinforcements from the Japanese army.
.
As for the other Japanese and puppet strongholds along the Sui River, Wang Dahu and Sun Manxi did not need to consider them. The brigade headquarters had a very detailed battle plan. It was estimated that when those little devils went out to reinforce Yin Ji, the Eighth Route Army would attack them on the back.
