The battle in Linyi City only lasted for more than an hour and ended with Zhang Liyuan's troops who had sneaked into Linyi City being driven out.
In Linyi City after the war, even the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Wang Jiwen did not send his troops out of the city to pursue the fleeing troops because he had no time to capture the prisoners. He needed to quickly reorganize the troops in Linyi City and strengthen the defense force. Zhang Liyuan could think of sending thousands of people disguised as refugees to sneak into the city. , he will definitely not give up. He took advantage of the lack of troops in Linyi City before resorting to his ultimate move. Maybe his main force is running towards Linyi City!
After the fighting in the city ended, Wang Jiwen and Zhao Bo did four things: The first thing was to order the engineers of the fifth battalion to lead the militia out of the city and lay mines, land mines, and explosive charges outside the west gate, north gate, east gate, and south gate. , how many can be buried. Wang Jiwen knew in his heart that neither Zhang Liyuan's Ministry nor Wu Hua's Ministry of Culture had artillery. At most, they only had some mortars, and the number was not large. If they attacked the city, they would have to attack the city in four Use your brains at the city gate and rely on the advantage of large numbers of people to force the attack. These mines, land mines, and explosive packets can play a role in intensively killing the enemy and delaying the enemy's attack. The second thing is to order the opening of the arsenal and give it to Linyi Middle School. The teachers and students of the Vocational School and Linyi Normal University distributed weapons and ammunition, and organized them according to the usual military training to form troops to participate in the battle and assist in defending the city. The third thing was to order an executive office, and the county government cadres mobilized among the residents of Linyi. Everyone in Linyi City who had been on the battlefield , all those who have received military training will report to various agencies and receive weapons and ammunition. They will be led by military region, administrative office, and county government cadres to participate in the battle and defend the city. The fourth thing is to order the mobilization of residents to form battlefield rescue teams, stretcher teams, and transportation teams to be responsible for transporting ammunition. , rescue the wounded.
As early as the second heavy sweep of Shandong by the Japanese army, Liu Yimin ordered the entire territory of Shandong to be mobilized. All demobilized soldiers must report to the Eighth Route Army and the anti-Japanese governments at all levels, receive training from the training headquarters, and participate in the anti-mopping battle. The Eighth Route Army successively formulated A series of policies were implemented to reward people for participating in the anti-Japanese war. In consolidated base areas such as Southeast Shandong, Western Shandong, and Taiyi Central Base Areas, the popular mobilization training mechanism has been very complete. If there are still people over 14 years old in the Western Shandong, Southeast Shandong, and Taiyi Central Base Areas It would be strange if people don't know how to shoot guns and drop bombs.
Since the fifth teaching brigade completely regained Linyi after the Taixi Campaign, its headquarters has been stationed in Linyi. According to the division headquarters' methods of organizing and training militia and mobilizing the people, military training has been carried out extensively in the Linyi area. Once a major battle occurs, reserve troops can be quickly formed. They pulled up the front line and entered the battle. Zhang Liyuan and others did not know that the Eighth Route Army base area had become an iron wall, so they dared to pretend to attack in a sneak attack. They were destined to be beaten and bloody.
Wang Jiwen did this to mobilize all the forces in Linyi City to participate in the defense of the city, make up for the lack of troops, and ensure that Linyi City was firmly defended.
The people in Linyi City have lived a stable life since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and only after the Eighth Route Army was stationed. They are no longer willing to let Linyi City be lost. Just now, the people in Hecheng have participated in the battle to expel Zhang Liyuan's troops. If Zhang Liyuan is allowed to The troops captured Linyi City, and everyone knew the consequences. Therefore, the cadres mobilized easily. In a short time, more than 5,000 demobilized soldiers who had been on the battlefield and reserve soldiers who had been trained by the Eighth Route Army were organized. After a simple grouping, The city wall was pulled up. In this way, plus teachers and students from Linyi Middle School, Technical School, and Linyi Normal University, Wang Jiwen mobilized a garrison force of more than 6,000 people in Linyi City in a short period of time.
Originally, Wang Jiwen could have dispersed the 5th Battalion of the New 14th Regiment, the main force remaining in Linyi, and mixed them with these personnel to improve the overall combat capability. But Wang Jiwen did not do this. He had been in the war for a long time and knew that he had an elite force at hand.
How important is the backbone of the army? He asked the fifth battalion to take out all the grenades, mortars, mine cannons and light and heavy machine guns in stock. The whole battalion became a fire support battalion and established positions on the city wall to support the four
This method can only be achieved by the main force of the Eighth Route Army's teaching divisions, which advocates one specialization and multiple capabilities. No other force, including the 115th Division, can do this. Because the infantry is replaced by artillery and machine gunners, then
It all takes a certain amount of time to train.
On the Linyi city wall, it was very noisy at this time.
Those demobilized soldiers who had been on the battlefield were very calm. Following the orders of the cadres, they crawled quietly beside the crenellation. Their eyes without any emotion, looked at the torch procession coming from a distance outside the city. The guy in their hands also took advantage of it.
The cadres gave them the same color Sanba Gai, which has a long range and can hit accurately.
Although the teachers and students who pulled up the city wall and the trained young adults recruited from the residents have all been trained, it is still the first battle, so excitement and panic are inevitable. In addition, the guys in hand are of all kinds, including those made in Hanyang and those made in Shenyang.
, Czech style, German old sleeve, French nine consecutive climbs, Russian water connection pearl, old sleeve, there are also old foreign cannons, made in Zhangqiu, earth pressure five, single one, and shotguns and cannons, all taught by the fifth brigade
The models collected in the Lunan area were not uniform, and the ammunition could not be supplied in batches. They were all stored in warehouses and were not equipped with troops. They were taken out for use at this time. Only the grenades were produced by the Arsenal of the Lunan Military Region and the models were uniform.
There are many gun-making craftsmen in Shandong. They usually use a vegetable cellar or dig a cellar, find a rifle to make a sample, cut off a steel rail, heat it red, and then smash it into pieces. It would be better if there is a hand-cranked milling machine.
The most difficult process of making a gun is the rifle in the chamber, and the most difficult part of the bullet is the primer. At the beginning, the guns made by craftsmen were relatively rough, and some had explosive chambers. Later, they became more and more refined, and they were different from the counterfeit guns.
Putting the guns together, they can look real. Moreover, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, countless grassroots commanders appeared in Shandong. The first thing these people had to solve was the problem of weapons. Most of them had gun manufacturing and repair shops.
Factories and workshops. For example, in Gaosongpo in Zhangqiu, central Shandong Province, there is an arsenal with more than 500 people. It can produce 30 rifles, 2 machine guns, 3 pistols, 200 grenades per day, and 6 mortars per month. Puji Town
The big landowner Zhai Minwei established a gun factory in Qianjingzhuang and developed rotary machine guns, Czech machine guns, grenade launchers, and various rifles, pistols, and bullets for his own use and for sale. Of course, most of these more famous arsenals are
It was reorganized by the Eighth Route Army Logistics Command. Historically, the 115th Division entered Shandong and pulled up 70,000 to 80,000 troops in one year. This was mainly because there were many civilian guns in Shandong and there were many gun manufacturers, so there was no shortage of weapons.
These teachers, students and young adults first competed with each other to see whose gun was better. Then they practiced shoulder guns, pointing guns, aiming, and aligning three points according to the routines learned during military training. Then they sorted bullet bags and grenades under the command of cadres.
, and then practice pressing the bullet, removing the muzzle cap, and attaching the bayonet.
The Eighth Route Army cadres are conducting intense pre-war training. The training targets are school teachers and the backbone of the recruited residents. These are temporarily formed squad leaders and platoon leaders. The Eighth Route Army cadres have made it clear that fighting a war depends on the squad leader, and the squad leader must
Achieve the five diligences: First, the eyes must be diligent. Everyone in the class must see whether the posture is high or not, and the position must be adjusted in time. The second is the ears, not only what is said, but also what is thought.
Whatever, when your mood changes or you sigh, you have to ask why, and try to stabilize the mood of comrades. Only when your mood is stable can you aim accurately, hit accurately, and not be afraid of getting hurt or timid. The third is to speak diligently and be careful.
Be a mother-in-law and correct it immediately when you find something wrong. The fourth is to be diligent with your hands and feet. Just listening and speaking is not enough. You have to teach. The fifth is to be diligent with your brain. Your hands and feet are not idle, your eyes and ears are not idle, and your brain cannot be idle either. You have to think about problems.
, Needless to say, what has already appeared, what has not appeared, and the possible problems that may arise must also be thought about and understood. Otherwise, it will be a bloody lesson.
After the Eighth Route Army cadres trained the teachers and cadres, the teachers and cadres then went back to train their students and brothers according to the instructions of the Eighth Route Army cadres:
"There are many parts to a rifle, and they can be simply divided into three parts: the gun body, the gun and the butt."
"Grenade is very powerful. It reaches 20 to 30 meters. It can kill people and horses."
"The symbol of a soldier is not the military uniform or rank, but the combination of man and gun. Man and gun become one. A soldier without a gun is like a toothless tiger."
"Steady your mind, align the three points, aim, and follow the command to fire the gun!"
This is a typical practice of sharpening one's weapons before the battle. However, these people all have military training foundation, and the only difference is battlefield training.
At the end, the teachers and students of Linyi Normal University took the lead in singing "Good Man" composed by their teacher Wen Zhiyuan:
impassioned and generous,
full of rage,
Watch the *** invade my mountains and rivers again and again.
The Shenyang Incident occupied the Northeast,
The soldiers in Songhu were robbed.
Good man, die on the front line,
A true man, serving his country with his body,
The swords in your hands are all freshly sharpened.
Fertilize the fields with enemy flesh,
Water the ground with the blood of your enemies,
The four islands in Pingqu District serve as wilderness,
For farming!
The loud singing filled the night sky and immediately attracted the hearts of the people on the city wall. The noise turned into silence. Most of the teachers, students and ordinary people who had never been on the battlefield began to feel calm.
Linyi City, which was empty of defenses, suddenly turned into a fortified city with united efforts!
Standing on the west gate wall, looking at several torch teams coming in the night in the distance, Wang Jiwen knew that the real test was coming. Needless to say, the ones to the west were Zhang Liyuan's main force, and those to the north were Wu Huawen's main force.
Zhao Bo told Wang Jiwen that Commander Hong's reply had arrived. The main force of the fifth brigade was taught and the main force of the new fifth brigade was marching towards Linyi. Commander Hong ordered Wang Jiwen to serve as the commander-in-chief of Linyi city defense and command Linyi soldiers and civilians to hold on to the city defense fortifications until the main force arrived.
Back. Brigadier Hu of the Cavalry Brigade sent a telegram. Our Cavalry Brigade has completed its assembly and has begun to attack Linyi from three directions: Zaozhuang, Yixian County, and Tengxian County. Only the division commander and the political commissar cannot be contacted now.
When Wang Jiwen heard this, he said: "The division commander cannot be contacted, which means he is on the march and the radio cannot be turned on. It seems that it must be the division commander and the political commissar who personally led the mechanized troops of the 1st Teaching Brigade back to Linyi! Haha, this is a big battle.
Sent! Okay, let’s teach those guys like Zhang Liyuan a lesson for daring to offend the instructor! Okay!”
Wang Jiwen said several good things in succession, and he was as happy as if he was about to celebrate the New Year.
Zhao Bo was not as happy as Wang Jiwen, and said sadly: "What's so good? It's not about fighting the Japanese. Is Zhang Liyuan's brain confused because of a fever? He didn't fight the little Japanese, but opened up the Eighth Route Army. It seems that we are not interested in Zhang Liyuan." All our work has failed. We are in the same room and are at war with each other. Why should we be in such a hurry!"
Wang Jiwen rolled his eyes: "The Communist Party is not a good thing. Have you forgotten the reactionary policies of preventing communism, restricting communism, destroying communism, and dissolving communism as conveyed by the Division Headquarters at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China? Chiang Kai-shek will fight sooner or later." If we unite with them to fight the war, we have to defend against one attack. No, we cannot defend against one attack. We have to defend against several attacks. Let me tell you, it was Chiang Kai-shek's main force who was driven to the rear by the Japs. If there were no Japs, Chiang Kai-shek would have been there long ago. They fought with us. Maybe I would have been beaten to death by them! After all, Chiang Kai-shek is the rich man and I am the cowherd boy. The rich man and the cowherd boy don't have to work hard to figure out who will do what and who will do it. What to do."
There is no need for Wang Jiwen to explain this truth. Zhao Bo is older than him, awakened earlier than him, and has a higher level of education than him. Wang Jiwen is a warrior, and Zhao Bo is the one who cultivates warriors. But Zhao Bo thinks even deeper. That is, they are unwilling to let China's armed forces be consumed in fighting civil war and causing friction, which will only make the little devils happy. It's just that there is a contradiction between ideals and reality. Once the situation of the Anti-Japanese War eases, *** will never sit back and watch the development of *** Growth. This contradiction cannot be avoided.
The conversation between Wang Jiwen and Zhao Bo could not continue. The torches were getting closer and closer, and the war was about to begin.
Zhang Liyuan led the main force to advance at starry night, and met Wang Hongjiu's defeated troops halfway. When he asked about the situation, everything became clear. Zhang Liyuan was angry and used a riding crop to beat Xu Dabeard, who had fled back in embarrassment. If it weren't for Wang Hongjiu's In order to save his face, Zhang Liyuan killed him directly.
Linyi City was not captured, but Wang Hongjiu's detachment lost most of its men. Zhang Liyuanqi cursed that bandits were bandits and would not make a difference.
Zhang Liyuan was caught in a dilemma: Withdrawing troops, he could not explain to Zhou Fu and the others, let alone Chairman Chiang. The bullshit had been blown out, how would it end? The Eighth Route Army was already prepared to attack the city, and there would inevitably be casualties. In such troubled times, Everything he said was false, only strength was true. From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Liyuan was unwilling to let his troops suffer losses.
Zhang Liyuan calculated over and over again, and felt that the only gain from Wang Hongjiu's trip to Linyi was to find out the details of the Eighth Route Army in Linyi City. The Eighth Route Army did have limited strength. It was only about one battalion of regular troops, plus miscellaneous left-behind personnel. No matter how you calculate it, , and it is impossible to exceed the strength of one regiment. It is a bit unrealistic to defend Linyi City with this small amount of troops.
Zhang Liyuan carefully reviewed the entire action plan to attack Linyi, and felt that it was overall flawless. The bad thing was that Xu Dabeard, a bunch of perverts, deliberately provoked the female soldiers at the Eighth Route Military Hospital, forcing the Eighth Route Army to shoot in self-defense. .As soon as the gun fired, the Eighth Route Army had no scruples, and it turned into a city-wide counterattack by the Eighth Route Army. If it weren't for Xu Dabeard's mistakes, the Eighth Route Army in Linyi City should have been preparing to withdraw from Linyi. Another thing is to sneak into Linyi All the brothers in the city had no strength and were bare-handed. As soon as the Eighth Route Army opened fire, all of them turned from hungry wolves into sheep. They couldn't even run away. It was not that the brothers were cowards.
Zhang Liyuan was a little envious of the Eighth Route Army. When he helped Pang Bingxun defend Linyi, what kind of troops were there in Shandong? They were all teachers in long robes and ordinary people with their hoes down, let alone fighting Japanese soldiers.
, it would be good to have food to eat. Even after the fall of Linyi, the Shandong Eighth Route Army fought guerrilla warfare. It was also "wearing a big coat, with the waistband tucked up, hooking up for a while, and turning around to dig into the trouble." Who would have expected that the world would change so fast,
Ever since Liu Yimin's instructors entered Shandong, attacked Qingdao, and occupied Jinan, with great power and power, Tubal Road has turned into the Great Steel Wall. If this continues, all of Shandong will become a ***! How can they not stop their development momentum?
OK?
Zhang Liyuan chose to attack Linyi. Although he was not a military expert, he graduated from the Department of Politics of Peking University and knew everything about everything. He knew that although the brothers who had sneaked into Linyi City were driven out, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was still far away on the front line.
, Linyi's defenders are limited, and the attack at this time is still a sneak attack. Zhang Liyuan believes that with his main force and the main force of Wu Huawen's New Fourth Division, plus part of Rong Ziheng's brigade, the strength is ten times that of the Linyi defenders, and it is possible to capture Linyi City.
No problem.
Zhang Liyuan, who had made up his mind, ordered the troops to march quickly to Linyi while informing Zhou Fu and Wu Huawen of the changes in the situation in Linyi and his determination.
When Zhang Liyuan's troops arrived at Linyi City and prepared to attack the city, Wu Huawen led the main force of the New Fourth Division to arrive.
As soon as they met, Wu Huawen said that it was fortunate that the Eighth Route Army did not set up an ambush on the road or blow up the bridges on the Qi and Su rivers, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble.
In terms of actual combat experience, Wu Huawen was much richer than Zhang Liyuan. At this time, in order to recapture Linyi, Zhang Liyuan did not want to claim his reputation. He directly suggested that the two armies jointly command and establish a joint command headquarters, with Wu Huawen commanding the unified command of the siege.
Time waits for no one, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army is probably rushing towards Linyi at this time. If Linyi cannot be captured as soon as possible, hold on to the city, and wait for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to return, the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, Wu Huawen is not polite,
Start arranging troops immediately.
Wu Huawen's New Fourth Division was expanded on the basis of the Aihan Fuqu Pistol Brigade. It was the foundation of the old Northwest Army and never fought tough battles. Linyi City only had one battalion of regular troops, so Wu Huawen felt that this battle would be won, and that it would be a clean victory.
neat.
Wu Huawen carefully observed the terrain of Linyi and immediately issued a combat order. First, he asked Zhang Liyuan, who was familiar with the terrain of Linyi, to send two detachments, one to set up defenses along the road from Feixian County to Yixian County to block the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army that might come from Yixian County, and the other
One guard was deployed along the Yi River to block the Eighth Route Army reinforcements that might return north from Tancheng to reinforce Linyi. Then he ordered one of his regiments to feint to attack the north gate, and one of Zhang Liyuan's security brigade to feint to attack the west gate. Two of his security regiments bypassed the stone bridge over the Yi River.
Concentrating their forces to launch a sudden attack on the North Gate, one of Zhang Liyuan's security brigade detoured and stormed the South Gate, trying to break through the city in one fell swoop. One of Zhang Liyuan's security brigade was left as the general reserve team.
Generally speaking, this battle plan is to feign attack on the North Gate and West Gate to attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army, and the main force will break through at the North Gate and South Gate.
When Zhang Liyuan saw it, he was so impressed that he even said that Mr. Wu is Mr. Wu, and this plan is good!
