Just like when Sun Desheng and others first saw the Japanese armored forces, the Japanese officers and soldiers had no weapons at hand and were helpless against the Mawushan guerrilla tank squadron.
They could only use firepower to attack the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade following the tank. However, their firepower was suppressed by the machine guns on the tank, and the bullets fired were very limited.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade quickly rushed into the city gate regardless of casualties.
The Japanese army had already been prepared. When the city gate was blown up, they had already mobilized part of their troops and blocked the city gate with machine guns.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade rushed in and encountered fierce enemy fire. They suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.
Seeing this situation, the two tanks of the tank squadron opened the way ahead and rushed into the city.
The tank blocked the enemy's machine gun bullets, and the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade following behind took the opportunity to rush into the city and start a street battle with the Japanese army.
Seeing the officers and soldiers in front rushing into the city, the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade behind were greatly boosted in morale and swarmed in.
In order to train the infantry combat capabilities of the Mawushan guerrillas, Xu Dalong ordered the infantry squadron to rush into the city and engage in street fighting with the Japanese army together with the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade.
In order to support the infantry attack, Wang Chengzhu led the artillery unit into the city and used the Type 92 infantry cannon to destroy the Japanese firepower at close range.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade and the Mawushan guerrillas had a large number of people and powerful firepower, and they occupied a large area in a short time.
They kept attacking forward, compressing the Japanese army backward.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade and the Mawushan Guerrillas entered the city from the east gate. There was no movement in the direction of the west gate.
However, the Japanese commanders had fought many battles with the Mawushan guerrillas. They knew that although it was peaceful there, it must be a trap. As long as they went out and encountered the cavalry of the Mawushan guerrillas in the wild, they would quickly collapse.
So he ordered the Japanese troops to defend the city and engage in street fighting with the anti-Japanese troops.
This is what the Japanese army thought, but the puppet soldiers were unwilling to engage in street fighting with the anti-Japanese army.
Soon after the battle started, they ran to the west gate, opened the city gate, and escaped.
The Japanese commander's judgment was correct. Shortly after the puppet troops left the city, they were happy to see no one guarding the outside, but suddenly discovered that a large group of Mawushan guerrilla cavalry appeared in the distance.
By this time it was too late for them to retreat to the city, and they were surrounded by guerrilla cavalry.
The leader of the puppet army had fought many battles with the Mawushan guerrillas. He knew that he was no match for the guerrillas, so he made a prompt decision and ordered the troops to lay down their weapons and raise their hands to surrender.
The cavalry troops commanded by Sun Desheng collected the weapons of the puppet soldiers and then rushed in from the west gate of the city.
After the battle started, the Japanese troops in Juma County sent a telegram to Chiba seeking help.
Chiba Xunyi ordered the Japanese troops stationed in Guancheng County and Dongxiang County to go for reinforcements. As soon as they left the city, they were attacked by the Mawushan guerrilla cavalry.
They knew that it was impossible to go to the rescue at such a long distance, so they retreated to avoid suffering more heavy losses.
Qianye Xunyi had no choice but to abandon the Japanese troops in Juma County and ordered them to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. In fact, he was left to fend for themselves.
The Japanese troops were very tenacious and persisted in the county for four and a half hours before they were finally annihilated by the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade and guerrillas.
In this battle, the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade and the members of the Mawushan guerrillas suffered heavy casualties, but it was worth it. Only after such a bloody battle can an army's strong fighting will and tenacious fighting spirit be cultivated.
style.
In this battle, the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade worked closely with the Mawushan guerrillas and completely annihilated a Japanese infantry brigade and a puppet regiment, achieving a brilliant victory.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade were very excited, raising their arms and shouting to celebrate the victory.
Chu Yunfei and Li Kun were also very excited, and they jointly sent a telegram reporting the victory to the World War II District Chief.
After the King of Shanxi received the report, he was very happy. This time, he annihilated an infantry brigade of the Japanese army and a regiment of the puppet army, and captured another county town. He felt very proud and reported the results of the 358th Brigade to the Military Commission.
, and arranged for various newspapers and periodicals in the area where the World War II zone was located to carry out extensive publicity.
The 358th Brigade won the battle, and the king of Shanxi was very happy. He rewarded the 358th Brigade with 100,000 French coins and 500,000 colorful faces, and rewarded Chu Yunfei personally with 20,000 French coins.
However, he was a bit stingy towards Xu Dalong and only rewarded him with a colorful face worth 5,000 French coins.
This made Chu Yunfei a little embarrassed, so he gave Xu Dalong 10,000 of the 20,000 French currency awarded to him.
Xu Dalong knew that Shanxi Wang was stingy, and he was too lazy to collect these big painted faces. He directly informed Representative Wang of the Eighth Route Army Office in the World War II Zone and asked them to collect the money as funds for the office.
Representative Wang is very happy. Since Xu Dalong and his friends arrived in Mawushan, the office's funds have become abundant, completely ending their previous days of being stretched.
Valley
The 358th Brigade won a great victory, and Chu Yunfei took the opportunity to request that all other troops of the 358th Brigade be sent to Xinhe County.
The king of Shanxi was in a good mood and agreed to his request.
After Chu Yunfei occupied Juma County, he planned to send troops to garrison and control Xinhe County and Juma County at the same time.
Xu Dalong persuaded them to abandon Juma County. He believed that if the 358th Brigade was dispersed, it would be easy to be defeated by the Japanese army one by one. It was better to concentrate the main force to garrison Xinhe County and prepare to deal with a large-scale Japanese attack.
Chu Yunfei knew that what Xu Dalong said was right. He felt very sorry and could only search Juma County and then led his troops to withdraw to Xinhe County.
Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong both had rich combat experience. They knew that the Japanese army would definitely come for revenge and that a war was inevitable, so they organized troops and recruited a large number of migrant workers to dig trenches around Xinhe County.
Prepare to repel the Japanese attack.
Independent Regiment Department.
From time to time, Xu Dalong and others won great victories and captured the enemy's county town. This greatly stimulated the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, especially the three leaders of the Independent Regiment, who really couldn't sit still.
There was really no way around this. The pressure on them was too great. The superiors repeatedly notified Xu Dalong and his Mawushan guerrillas to praise them. Every time the guerrillas were mentioned, the independent regiment was mentioned.
It sounds like the Independent Regiment is also very prosperous, but everyone knows what's going on. These battles were not fought by the Independent Regiment at all, which made several leaders of the Independent Regiment feel a little embarrassed.
Li Yunlong said: "Dalong, this boy is really good at fighting. Each fight is better than the last. They are separated from us. If we don't go out and fight a good fight, we will be looked down upon by others."
Zhang Dabiao could not sit still for a long time. He kept muttering in front of Li Yunlong, saying that he wanted to go out to fight and at least capture one of the Japanese county towns.
Li Yunlong had a violent personality, and Zhang Dabiao fanned the flames, which made him determined to lead the entire regiment to fight a good battle to establish the prestige of the independent regiment.
Zhao Gang has been in the independent group for a long time. Although his temperament is still calm, he has changed a lot compared to before.
He agreed with Li Yunlong's opinion, but asked that the matter be as safe as possible, and it would be best if it could be approved by the brigade commander.
What Li Yunlong is most afraid of is asking for instructions from his superiors. This matter is too complicated. If he wants to obtain the consent of his superiors, let alone whether he can get approval in the end, he just needs to wait for his superiors to study. This process makes him like an ant on a hot pot.
Just can't stand it.
He said: "Why are you still asking for permission? I'll wait until I get beaten. At worst, I'll have to masturbate again and go to the quilt factory to do embroidery."
Seeing that Li Yunlong had made up his mind, Zhang Dabiao said excitedly: "I will send scouts to detect the enemy's situation."
With that said, he walked out.
Two days later, Zhang Dabiao excitedly said to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang: "Regiment leader, political commissar, the enemy's situation is clear, come and see."
With that said, he spread out the map and introduced the situation discovered by the scouts to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao studied for a whole afternoon and formulated a combat plan. Everyone felt satisfied, so they decided to start implementing it.
Zhao Gang raised a question. He asked: "Our whole regiment is dispatched. The action is really too big. People from the brigade headquarters are active everywhere in the base area. In what name do we pull the troops out? What if the brigade commander finds out?
, he ordered the operation to stop, wouldn’t our plan fail?”
Li Yunlong had already thought about this level. He said: "Let's make preparations in advance, and then hold an emergency gathering at night. In the name of the whole regiment training, we will pull out the troops, even if we encounter people from the brigade headquarters."
They can't stop us. When we win the battle, the brigade commander won't say anything."
Zhang Dabiao thought this method was feasible and agreed.
Zhao Gang didn't say anything, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After he returned to his room, he thought about it and suddenly thought of an idea, so he quietly sent a telegram to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong knew the temperament and temperament of the three leaders of the Independent Regiment very well. After receiving the telegram from Zhao Gang, he called Sun Desheng and explained to him.
Sun Desheng was very happy and immediately gathered his troops and set off.
Gao Lixin and the members of the Shanxi-Sui Army Liaison Group were fully respected in the Mawushan guerrillas. They could move around freely and freely contact the guerrillas and local people.
As time went by, they discovered that the Mawushan base area was filled with an atmosphere that was significantly different from that in the areas controlled by the Shanxi-Sui Army. Moreover, the guerrillas had high morale and showed an optimistic and positive attitude in both training and life.
The expressions on the faces of the local people are full of smiles most of the time, which is obviously different from the numb expressions on the faces of the people in the areas controlled by the Jinsui Army.
The common people support the guerrillas very much, and the relationship between the army and the people is very harmonious, and you can often see scenes of them helping each other.
Every once in a while, the guerrillas will organize a performance team to have a party with the people. Such a scene is never seen in the areas ruled by the Jinsui Army.
The guerrillas take great care of the life of the liaison group, and their food treatment is much better than when they were in the Shanxi-Sui Army. In addition, there are surprises waiting for them.
