.Jiazhuang garrison, there is a 22nd division stationed in the Baoding to Handan section of Pinghan Road, the Pinghan Road garrison is also a brigade size, the 37th division is stationed in the Deshi Highway defense line, and the rebuilt 3rd Division is stationed in Jizhong
The Thirty-fifth Division, the Zhengtai Road garrison of the Japs on Zhengtai Road, plus a group of the puppet North China Security Army in Baoding and the local puppet army of the Hebei Provincial Government, Shi Mén is under the heavy protection of the Japs and Hanjiān
.As long as Shi Meng is attacked, the little devils will pounce on us from all directions. But the situation is different now. The little devils have a big appetite and want to eliminate us in one fell swoop. Not only did they form a heavy army group to besiege Shandong, but also the Japanese and puppet troops in Shanxi, Pinghan and Han Dynasty.
The Japanese and puppet troops on the road, in Jizhong, Jidong, and on the Jilu border were all mopping up. The 37th Division on Deshi Road ran to Dong'a in western Shandong, and the remaining troops were just holding on to their strongholds.
Even the rebuilt 35th Division in Jizhong was dividing its troops to sweep away the enemy. It means that the Japanese and puppet troops around Shimen were unable to gather strength in a short time. This Shimen, that is what was placed in the area.
The delicious white flour steamed buns in front of us, comrades!"
Zhao Jie, commander of the New Eighth Brigade, stood up, raised his arms and shouted: "Enter Shimen and destroy the little devils!"
The cadres then shouted loudly.
After the cadres finished shouting slogans, Liu Yimin waved his hands to ask everyone to calm down, and then said: "There is also good news to tell everyone. In order to cooperate with us in the battle, our 115th Division in Shanxi, Chief Nie, led part of the main force to fight against the Northeast.
In Liaoning, the First Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance swept across the Japanese and puppet troops in western Liaoning and southern Liaoning. The Kwantung Army fought southward, with four elites: the first, second, fourth, seventh, twenty-third, and twenty-fourth.
The division has retreated to Lianyungang along Longhai Road. The latest intelligence shows that the two mechanized divisions of the Second Division and the 23rd Division arrived at Lianyungang last night and are now embarking on the ship. The other four divisions are also on the way.
Rushing to Lianyungang, we expect to arrive at Lianyungang from tonight to tomorrow morning. From now on, the only remaining Kwantung Army troops in North China are the 11th Division, the 12th Division and the newly formed 28th Division.
, the 29th Division. This is the success of the 115th Division in mobilizing the Japs! Our 120th Division, 129th Division, Independent Division and the troops of the 115th Division remaining in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei were not afraid of the Japanese and puppet troops' raids and attacked the enemy
Launch a full-scale attack to attract the Japanese army and create conditions for us to capture Shijiazhuang. Now, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, and Chief of Staff Zuo Quan are all rushing towards Shimen, waiting for us to review the participating troops after we capture Shimen."
As soon as I heard that Mr. Zhu and Mr. Peng were coming to review the troops, there was another burst of cheers at the venue.
Seeing that the fire was already full, Liu Yimin began to make combat arrangements.
The map has already been hung on the wall.
Liu Yimin pointed to the map and said: "Look, Shimen connects Hengshui to the east through Deshi Road, Yangquan to the west through Zhengtai Road, Baoding to the north, and Xingtai to the south. The strategic location is self-evident. From the perspective of defense means, it is connected to Taihang Mountain in the west.
, there are Hutuo River in the north, Dasha River as a barrier, and Tang River in the south to resist the enemy. Generally speaking, if you want to take Shijiazhuang, you must deal with the enemy reinforcements in the north, west, and south, and block them north of Dasha River respectively.
, south of the Tang River. But this time we will not fight according to conventional tactics. I will concentrate all my strength, go straight in with a single sword, the black tiger will dig out the heart, go straight to Huanglong, capture Shijiazhuang in a short time, and then meet the Japanese reinforcements and expand
Result."
At this point, Liu Yimin asked Liu Yimin to hang up the Japanese army's Shimen city defense map. Then he said to the Japanese army's city defense map: "This is the little Japanese's Shimen defense map that the comrades of the Shimen underground party got. The top is
The Japanese army's stone defense line fortifications are clearly marked. Everyone can see clearly that the several-foot-high earth lump in the northeast is Yunpan Mountain, which is located in the south of Taoyuan Village, adjacent to Xiaoyan Village and Huāyuan Village to the southwest, and to the southeast
South and North Zhaiying are bordering each other, so the common people say, "The pimples in Taoyuan, the temples along the village, and the road in Huāyuan, and the South and North Zhaiying join in the fun." This means that the land on Yunpan Mountain belongs to Taoyuan Village, and the land above it belongs to Taoyuan Village.
The temple was built along the village, and the surrounding roads belonged to Huayuan Village. The southern and northern Zhai camps benefited from their proximity to Yunpan Mountain. The location and shape were basically the same as recorded in war history.
Don’t underestimate Yunpan Mountain. Although it is not even a hill compared to Yiméng Mountain, it has become the commanding heights of Shimén on this great plain. Taking it down is equivalent to completing half of the task."
After talking about Yunpan Mountain, Liu Yimin pointed his hand to the northwest of Shimen: "This is the Japanese army's Daguozhuang Airport. When we attack Shimen this time, one is to seize the Japanese supplies in Shimen, and the other is to completely capture the Japanese army.
Daguozhuang Airport. As we all know, our aviation group hid all the planes because there was no aerial bombs. As long as we can completely capture the aerial bombs at Daguozhuang Airport, with the technical combat skills of our aviation group
Level, you can imagine what would happen to the Japanese army's Peking Airport, Tianjin Airport, Baoding Airport, and Taiyuan Airport. Therefore, Daguozhuang Airport must be captured intact."
Liu Yimin took a sip of water, pointed his hand on the map and said: "Xiao'anshe in the northwest, Daguozhuang Airport, Liuying, Da, Xiaotan Village, Wangcun, Chengjiao Village, Xili Village, Xisanjiao in the southwest
, Yuancun and Pengcun in the south, Huaidi Village in the southeast, Yitang, Huāyuan Village, Yunpanshan in the northeast, Liulinpu, Nanzhaiying, Beizhaiying, and Donggangtou in the east, all are located here.
There are Japanese and puppet army strongholds guarding Shimen, forming a relatively loose defense circle. Among them, Yunpanshan and Daguozhuang Airport are the key points. Further inside, because Shimen is an emerging city without city walls, the Japanese army captured civilians.
There is a trench dug outside the railway, and bunkers and gun towers are densely scattered along the trench. The little devils bullied me. The troops in southern Hebei, central Hebei, and Luxi have no guns. The gun towers are all brick and wood structures. Some of the bunkers are made of steel bars.
It is a concrete structure, and part of it is also a brick and wood structure. Since the Japanese army did not know that we were going to demolish the stone mén, there were no fortifications in the city. The main concentration points of the Japanese army were in the four camps: East Barracks, West Barracks, South Barracks, and North Barracks."
After introducing the defense situation of Shimen City, Liu Yimin turned to look at the cadres and said: "My deployment is: 1. The No. 1 Special Operations Squadron raids Daguozhuang Airport, uses poison gas bombs to eliminate the airport garrison, and ensures that the Japanese aerial bombs are completely captured.
;
2. The 2nd Brigade and the 8th New Brigade formed the Chengbei Group, commanded by Liu Jianli, and attached to the Artillery Brigade Fei Lei Artillery Regiment. This group was responsible for clearing the enemy on the south bank of the Hutuo River, cutting off the connection between Shijiazhuang and Zhengding, pressing from north to south, and capturing
Yunpan Mountain, circuitous to the west, guard to the north, and deploy ambush positions. Among them, the Second Teaching Brigade is responsible for attacking the city from north to south, and the New Eighth Brigade is responsible for cutting off the Pinghan Line and deploying an ambush circle;
3. The first teaching brigade, the new first brigade, the artillery brigade, the air defense brigade, the engineering brigade, and the baggage brigade formed an attack group, commanded by Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin, and launched in the east between the Hutuo River and the road from Shimén to Zhao County
Attack, rush into Shijiazhuang in one fell swoop;
Fourth, the Sixth Jiao Brigade, the New Fourth Brigade, and the Cavalry Brigade formed the Chengnan Group, commanded by Zhu Rui. This group was responsible for capturing Luancheng County and Zhaoxian County, cutting off the connection between Shijiazhuang and Yuanshi County, and detouring westward.
Warn to the south and deploy ambush positions. Among them, the Sixth Teaching Brigade is responsible for attacking the city from south to north, while the New Fourth Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade are responsible for cutting off the Pinghan Road and deploying an ambush circle;
5. The troops of the Southern Hebei Military Region launched a comprehensive offensive in the southern Hebei area to clear the Japanese and puppet strongholds and monitor the movements of the Japanese troops on Deshi Road;
Sixth, the Luxi Garrison Brigade and the New Second Brigade that stayed in Shandong and the Luxi Garrison Second Brigade located in the border areas of southwestern Shandong and Luxi actively launched offensive operations, delaying the speed of reinforcements from the heavy Japanese army group.
Seventh, the artillery of the entire army was under the command of the Artillery Headquarters, and artillery fire was concentrated to achieve success in one fell swoop.
Generally speaking, our purpose this time is to bully the little devils, use powerful artillery fire to destroy the Japanese defense fortifications, use the tanks of the armored regiment as the main assault force, break through the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop, and take the stone mén directly! The heads of each unit must listen to me clearly.
, We need to make a quick decision. I will use the anti-aircraft artillery of the air defense brigade, the anti-aircraft artillery and rocket launchers of all the units. I will use the armored trains to fight the Japanese and the bunker towers to fight the small Japanese. We must destroy the Japanese at the first possible opportunity.
Focus on firepower to destroy the Japanese will to resist. If you want to capture Yunpan, you don’t have to save me the explosives. All the flying thunder artillery regiments must go into battle and blow up the Japanese position on Yunpan Mountain with explosives. Try to get the soldiers to rush forward.
At that time, there was not a single Japanese soldier alive on the position. If the range of the projectile is limited, mortars can be used to fire explosive packages. The specific combat plan will be issued to each unit by the staff office. Do you understand it clearly?"
Before the cadres could answer, Chen Zaidao, commander of the Southern Hebei Military Region, stood up and shouted: "Report to Commander Liu, I don't accept it!"
Liu Yimin glanced at Chen Zai and said, "Chen Mazi, what are you dissatisfied with?"
Chen Zaidao shouted loudly: "The commander looks down on me, Chen Zaidao, and our southern Hebei army. It is our duty to attack the stone mén, and our southern army has no shirk. I request the commander's approval that the army of the southern Hebei military region will be responsible for the main frontal attack!"
Liu Yimin shook his head: "Commander Chen, you are a famous tiger general in our army, and you have made great contributions to insisting on southern Hebei. It's too late for me to like you, so how can I look down on you? The troops in southern Hebei are scattered in various counties, and there is no time to concentrate. Moreover, the previous paragraph
The casualties are relatively large, so continue to replenish them. You just need to cooperate in the battle, and the main force will be responsible for the battle to attack Shimen."
"The commander is wrong! After receiving the commander's telegram, our southern Hebei army launched guerrilla tactics, using block warfare, mine warfare, and tunnel warfare to slow down the Japanese attack speed. The main force quickly moved into the tunnel, and the loss was not big. Besides, even if
We have suffered heavy losses, and this cannot be used as an excuse not to allow us to participate in the siege. Knowing that our army is going to capture Shimen, the troops in southern Hebei have completed their assembly and have moved covertly to Zhao County and between Ning and Jin. It is not me, Chen Zaidao
Bragging, today's southern Hebei army's combat effectiveness can definitely be regarded as the main force. Moreover, our tunnels have been dug to the Pinghan Railway, and the troops can move covertly and launch surprise attacks. On behalf of the southern Hebei army, I request the commander to fight for approval.
!”
After Liu Yimin camped last night, he didn't have time to meet Chen Zaidao, and he really didn't know much about the troops in southern Hebei. Seeing Chen Zaidao so confident, considering that southern Hebei was the earliest base for digging tunnels, the tunnel network should be very complete, and Chen Zaidao was a general in history.
, Bravely championing the three armies, Liu Yimin thought for a while and said: "Okay, Chen Mazi, good job! The southern Hebei army was integrated into the southern group, freeing up the cavalry brigade as a reserve force."
Chen Zaidao saluted again and shouted loudly: "Commander, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission!"
Chen Zaidao was satisfied, but Hu Laohu, who served in the reserve team, was not satisfied. He stood up and reported: "Commander, in addition to the armored regiment of the first brigade, the cavalry brigade of the entire army is highly mobile and moves quickly. Good steel is used in blades."
Come on, the cavalry brigade should be the vanguard of the assault, not just spectators. After running such a long way, the horses are tired and thin, so they can't treat the soldiers! On behalf of the cavalry brigade, I asked the commander to fight, and the cavalry brigade requested to serve as
Assault Vanguard, please approve!"
Liu Yimin's face was straight: "Luàn plays the piano. Execute the order!"
Hu Laohu sat down angrily.
After Chen Zaidao and Hu Huhu all sat down, Liu Yimin said again: "This time, the sharp knives of the three groups are the first-class main force of our army. Teach the first brigade, teach the second brigade, and teach the sixth brigade. It has been a long time since we have fought together.
.Gao Yuan, Liu Jianli, Zhang Hongtao!"
Gao Yuan, Liu Jianshe and Zhang Hongtao responded.
Liu Yimin looked at the three of them and said: "This is a strong attack. I want to see whether you can teach the first brigade to attack harder, the second brigade, and the sixth brigade to attack faster! Let's see if you can lead the main brigade.
County brigade, district squad. Do you hear me clearly?"
Three people responded at the same time: "Listen clearly!"
Liu Yimin waved his hand: "At six o'clock in the evening, the entire army will start taking action, the target is Shimen!"
After the meeting, Liu Yimin left Hu Laohu behind and said to the map: "Tiger, the cavalry brigade is not suitable for participating in siege battles. You lead the cavalry brigade to attack Gaocheng. I judge that after our army starts taking action, the Japanese army will definitely notice that the troops stationed in Jin
The Japanese and puppet troops in Gaocheng County and Gaocheng will inevitably send reinforcements to Shijiazhuang. However, their forces are limited and they cannot rush reinforcements. The Japanese and puppet troops in the two places must converge and advance towards Shijiazhuang. Once they see that the situation is not right, they may retreat to Jin County or withdraw.
Head towards Hengshui. Go and ambush them, and take advantage of the situation to attack Gaocheng and Jin County. I tell you, the three cavalry regiments can act separately. Attack and capture Xinji as much as possible, and then you can monitor the enemy movements in Hengshui and Jizhong.
Secondly, there is a fur coat market there, with many finished products and fast processing. I want to get a batch of fur coats for our sentries to wear at night. In addition, Mr. Zhu and the others are here and asked them to take some back to Xi'an to keep the leaders warm from the cold.
use."
The depression on Hu Laohu's face was wiped away, and he returned to the army happily.!
