Xu Dalong understood their mood, and seeing how enthusiastic they were towards him, he formulated a corresponding battle plan.
Opposite the defense area of the Fourth District Military Division is an infantry regiment of the 38th Regiment Brigade under the Japanese 12th Army in Shandong, and a regiment of the Shandong Public Security Army.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the names of the puppet troops in different places were different. The puppet troops in Shanxi were called the Huang Xie Army, those in Shandong were called the Security Army, and those in the Peiping area were called the Peace Army.
They launched repeated attacks on the troops of the Fourth Army Division. The troops of the Fourth Army Division relied on the mountains to fight guerrillas and survived the attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops.
When the leaders of the military division saw the battle plan formulated by Xu Dalong, they all felt unbelievable. They originally thought that when Xu Dalong formulated the battle plan, he would use that regiment of pseudo-security forces as the main target of attack. If they could
After consuming a few of their companies or one or two battalions and seizing part of their weapons and equipment, the Fourth Army Division would feel very satisfied. If it could annihilate a part of the Japanese army, even an infantry squadron, it would be considered a great victory.
Who would have thought that the battle plan formulated by Xu Dalong was to eat up the entire infantry regiment of the Japanese army, plus this regiment of the puppet army, which they could not even imagine.
Seeing the embarrassment of Chen Wancai, Qiao Shan and other military division leaders, Xu Dalong smiled and said: "What do you think, do you dare to fight this battle?"
Chen Wancai, Qiao Shan and others were all bloody men. Although their troops had backward equipment, insufficient strength, and inadequate training, they never hesitated when fighting the Japanese army.
After hearing what Xu Dalong said, they were naturally unwilling to be outdone.
Chen Wancai said: "Captain Xu, our Fourth Army Division is absolutely unambiguous in fighting the little devils."
Qiao Shan also said: "If your guerrilla brigade dares to fight the Japanese, we will also dare to fight the Japanese to the end."
That morning, the sentry of the pseudo-security army stationed in Sanlizhuang Town saw underground party anti-Japanese armed forces wearing gray military uniforms appearing outside the town. He fired a gun to call the police and hurriedly reported to the regiment leader.
The leader of the pseudo-security corps hurriedly climbed to the roof, picked up his binoculars and looked outside the town. He saw a large number of enemy troops outside, at least several thousand. Although he saw that the enemy's weapons and equipment were quite backward, after all, he
The enemy's situation was unknown, and he did not dare to lead his troops to attack rashly.
So while ordering the troops to strengthen defense, they reported to the Japanese commander stationed in the county and requested reinforcements.
The troops surrounding Sanlizhuang Town are the Second Regiment of the Fourth Army Division and five county brigades, as well as a special operations squadron of the Mawushan guerrillas. Their mission is to put pressure on the puppet troops of the regiment in the town and force them to attack.
The Japanese army asked for help.
Encircling a point for reinforcements was Xu Dalong's usual tactic. In fact, Chen Wancai and Qiao Shan were also familiar with this tactic, but they did not have that much strength. They neither had the ability to surround a regiment of puppet troops, nor were they sure that they could annihilate the Japanese troops who came for reinforcements.
The situation today is different. With the elite troops of the Mawushan guerrillas led by Xu Dalong here, they have confidence.
On the road leading from the county seat to Sanlizhuang Town, Chen Wancai and Qiao Shan led the first regiment of the Fourth Army Division to ambush on both sides of the road. Along with them, there was an artillery unit commanded by Wang Chengzhu behind them.
It is the cavalry unit led by Sun Desheng.
After the Japanese commander received the report from the commander of the puppet army, he believed that the troops going to attack the puppet army were from the Fourth Army Division with which they had dealt many times.
Based on past experience, they did not pay attention to the troops of the Fourth Army Division at all. He immediately sent an infantry brigade, strengthened some artillery, and headed for Sanlizhuang Town after leaving the county.
The Japanese army was very arrogant and marched arrogantly on the road without even sending a guard on the outside of the army.
Xu Dalong and Chen Wancai jointly directed the ambush. When they saw the Japanese army entering the ambush circle, they asked Chen Wancai to issue the order to attack.
The reason why the Japanese army dared to march arrogantly along the road was because they knew the strength of the divisional troops of the Fourth Army and did not take them seriously at all.
They knew that even if they were ambushed, the troops in the Fourth Army Division lacked ammunition, and everyone would come out to fight hand-to-hand with them after firing a few bullets. This was no problem for the Japanese army. Therefore, they broke in without any precautions.
Falling into an ambush.
The battle began, and the Japanese commander quickly realized that something was wrong.
In order to fight this battle, Xu Dalong and others replenished the troops of the First Regiment with a large amount of ammunition they brought. It was the first time that the officers and soldiers of the First Regiment had so much ammunition, and they fought very happily, so the firepower was far more intensive.
Far beyond the imagination of the Japanese army.
Wang Chengzhu commanded all the artillery brought by the guerrillas this time, including the artillery of the Fourth Army Division. The number of artillery was quite amazing, including some 240mm heavy mortars. The intensity of the artillery fire far exceeded that of the Japanese army.
imagination.
The Japanese troops were caught off guard and were beaten to the ground, suffering heavy casualties.
After the fierce fire attack, the officers and soldiers of the first regiment launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties under the fierce firepower. The terrain they were in was unfavorable and they could not withstand the attack of the officers and soldiers of the first regiment, so they began to retreat along the way they came.
At this moment, Sun Desheng commanded a brigade of cavalry to surround them from all directions. After they entered the shooting range, they dismounted one after another and attacked the Japanese army with fierce firepower.
The Japanese army never dreamed that such a powerful anti-Japanese armed force could appear here. They had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and firepower. The casualties of the Japanese army increased rapidly.
The anti-Japanese armed forces approached step by step, constantly narrowing the encirclement, and soon compressed the Japanese troops into a small cemetery on the roadside.
According to Xu Dalong's prior request, the officers and soldiers of the first regiment also stopped charging and only used firepower to suppress the Japanese army.
Sun Desheng commanded the artillery troops to move forward, and then fired fiercely at the remaining Japanese troops. In such a densely populated area of Japanese troops, the lethality caused by the artillery shells was very significant, especially the 240mm heavy mortar. One shell hit, covering several square meters.
Within ten meters, the Japanese troops were either blown to pieces or knocked unconscious by the shock.
Under such a violent blow, the Japanese army had almost no power to fight back, and within a short time, they basically lost their combat effectiveness.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Xu Dalong ordered his troops to launch a general attack on the Japanese army, and soon the Japanese army was completely annihilated.
Chen Wancai, Qiao Shan and the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Division had their eyes opened today. They saw the powerful combat effectiveness of the Mawushan guerrillas. They also fought very happily. This battle ate up a reinforced infantry brigade of the Japanese army. The huge
The results of the battle made the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Division ecstatic.
Next, Sun Desheng led several cavalry squadrons to monitor the Japanese troops in the direction of the county. Xu Dalong, Chen Wancai and others led the rest of the troops to Sanlizhuang Town.
Among the anti-Japanese armed forces surrounding the puppet troops in Sanlizhuang Town, the special operations squadron played a huge role. The special operations team members used precise marksmanship to beat the puppet troops in the town to the point where they could not even raise their heads.
From this moment on, the puppet troops have realized that the enemy they are facing is not the troops of the Fourth Army Division, and now they have no courage to take the initiative to attack.
While the puppet troops were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, a large group of people appeared on the road from the county seat.
The puppet troops were very happy, thinking that reinforcements from the Japanese army had arrived. The puppet commander picked up his binoculars and observed carefully, but found that the people who came were all underground party anti-Japanese armed forces wearing gray military uniforms, as well as a large number of cavalry troops.
The puppet soldiers had no idea where such a powerful armed force came from, and they were all frightened.
After Xu Dalong and others arrived with their troops, they surrounded the puppet troops in Sanlizhuang Town more closely.
In order to frighten the enemy, Wang Chengzhu placed the artillery brought by the Mawushan guerrillas, the artillery from the Fourth Army Division, and the newly captured Japanese artillery to the east of the position.
The puppet troops here could see clearly. Seeing the large array of artillery, the puppet troops became even more frightened.
Soon after, the puppet soldiers discovered that the anti-Japanese armed forces stopped shooting, and then someone started shouting with a loudspeaker: "
Puppet officers and soldiers in the town, listen, the ones attacking you now are the famous Mawushan guerrillas. All the Japanese troops who came to reinforce you have been wiped out. If you don’t want to die, come out and surrender quickly."
The name of the Mawushan guerrillas is too loud. The Japanese brigades and division-level troops are no match for them, let alone the puppet troops.
When the puppet troops in the town heard that the Mawushan guerrillas were coming, they basically lost the courage to continue fighting.
When they saw a large number of cavalry and a large number of artillery outside, they basically believed that they were really the famous Mawushan guerrillas.
The puppet troops in the town did not wait for reinforcements, but when they saw a large number of anti-Japanese armed forces, they knew that the reinforcements were gone. They had no hope now, let alone the confidence to fight to the death with the Mawushan guerrillas.
The leader of the puppet army ordered the troops to stop shooting, and sent a person with a loud voice to shout: "Excuse me, are the people coming from outside really the subordinates of Captain Xu of the Mawushan Guerrilla Army?"
Monk Wei took the trumpet and shouted: "We are the Mawushan guerrillas, and we will prove it to you now. You are optimistic."
As soon as Monk Wei finished speaking, there was a gunshot, and the military flag hanging on the flagpole in the yard of the Puppet Legion Headquarters was knocked down.
Such accurate marksmanship made all the puppet soldiers turn pale with fright.
Monk Wei shouted again: "Look carefully, then look at this."
With the sound of a cannon, Wang Chengzhu fired a Type 92 infantry cannon shell with his own hands. The shell hit the town's gate and blew it apart.
The precise shelling once again left a deep impression on the puppet troops in the town. Now all the puppet troops believe that the people who attacked them are really the famous Mawushan guerrillas.
The leader of the puppet army shouted again: "Stop fighting, we believe it, please give us some time, brothers, to discuss it."
Monk Wei shouted: "I'll give you ten minutes. If you don't come out and surrender, I'll be rude to you."
The commander of the puppet army discussed with the chief of staff and several battalion commanders. They all believed that even the Japanese army was no match for them, and they could not count on Japanese reinforcements. If they continued to fight, it would be a dead end, so they decided to surrender.
.
Soon after, the puppet soldiers lined up and left the town.
The troops of the Fourth Army Division have fought against the puppet troops of this regiment many times before. The puppet troops also have very strong combat effectiveness. During the battle, they suffered a lot of losses.
Unexpectedly, the name Mawushan Guerrillas alone could frighten a regiment of puppet troops into surrendering. The Mawushan Guerrillas were so majestic.
After annihilating a reinforced infantry brigade of the Japanese army and a regiment of the puppet army, and capturing a large amount of weapons and equipment, Chen Wancai, Qiao Shan and others looked at Xu Dalong eagerly, hoping to share some of them with them.
Xu Dalong said: "We will only replenish a small part of the ammunition, and all the weapons seized will belong to your Fourth Army Division."
Hearing this, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Division cheered.
Chen Wancai held Xu Dalong's hand and said repeatedly: "Thank you, I really appreciate it."
Next, we began to implement the final step of the battle plan to annihilate other Japanese troops in the county.
After the Mawushan guerrillas and troops from the Fourth District Military Division surrounded the county town, Xu Dalong decided to storm the county town in broad daylight in order to train the troops from the Fourth Military District.
After the battle started, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Division saw the officers and soldiers of the Mawushan guerrillas quickly approaching the city wall with skillful tactical movements. When they were about 120 meters away from the city wall, the team members each looked for cover, and then attacked the Japanese troops on the wall.
shooting.
Their marksmanship was very accurate, and the Japanese troops on the city wall would be wiped out as soon as they showed their heads. Soon, the Japanese troops on the city wall were beaten so hard that they could not even lift their heads.
The special forces members of the two detachments took the opportunity to approach the city wall. They quickly came to the bottom of the city wall, threw a batch of grenades at the top of the city wall, and then quickly climbed up the city wall as if flying claws were thrown from above.
After the special forces members climbed onto the city wall, they set up machine guns to suppress the enemy's firepower and covered the other special forces members on the city wall.
Soon after, they took control of the city tower, set up machine guns near the city gate, and fired at the Japanese troops in the city to prevent them from approaching the city gate.
Wang Chengzhu directed his team members to push the Type 92 infantry cannon to about 100 meters away from the city gate, and blasted the city gate violently, directly destroying the city gate.
Seeing that the city gate was blown down, Monk Wei commanded the special operations squadron to rush into the city.
Chen Wancai, Qiao Shan and the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Division were stunned. When they saw Monk Wei leading the special operations squadron into the city, they woke up and hurriedly commanded the troops of the Fourth Army Division to rush into the city.
inside.
After entering the city, the troops of the Fourth Army Division followed the Mawushan guerrilla troops and started street fighting with the Japanese army.
