These guerrillas were very annoying. When they saw that the puppet soldiers stopped chasing, they stopped and shot at the puppet soldiers. Their marksmanship was very poor, and most of the bullets flew to nowhere, but there were also a small number of them.
The bullets hit several puppet soldiers, including a puppet company commander.
This angered the puppet soldiers again, and they dragged their tired legs to catch up again.
From then on, the guerrillas kept running in front. Whenever the puppet soldiers stopped to rest, they would shoot. Each time, the puppet soldiers would suffer some casualties.
This made these guys very angry. They made up their mind to catch up with the guerrillas in front of them, so they followed them again.
The puppet battalion commander who led the team found that his team had unknowingly moved far away from the town, and the terrain in front gradually became more complicated. He began to have doubts in his heart, worried that the guerrillas might have set up an ambush.
So he stopped again and looked around with his binoculars to see if there was any danger.
At this moment, a bullet fired from the escaping guerrillas hit the telescope in the hand of the puppet battalion commander. The bullet was blocked by the telescope and did not hit his face directly, but the powerful impact
His telescope hit his right eye hard, and he immediately lost sight of his right eye. The pain made him cover his eyes and jump around.
At this time, the puppet battalion commander was completely angered and vowed to catch this hateful group of guerrillas no matter what. So he commanded his officers and soldiers to catch up again.
When the puppet officers and soldiers saw the guerrillas climbing over a small hillside in front of them, they rushed up the hillside. Just when they were about to reach the top of the hill, suddenly many heads appeared on the top of the hill, which was bigger than before.
There were many more guerrillas escaping, and there were many black holes sticking out of their guns.
The officers and soldiers of the puppet army were startled, knowing that they had been ambushed, and hurriedly prepared to turn around and escape.
At this moment, the guerrillas opened fire on them. Their firepower was too fierce. There were at least seven or eight light machine guns among them. Coupled with a large number of rifles, the bullets swept through the puppet troops like wind.
The team was immediately beaten to the point where they were knocked off their feet and suffered heavy casualties.
The puppet battalion commander knew that he had fallen into the trap, and he ignored the pain and covered his eyes. He waved his hands and ran away desperately. The other puppet soldiers followed him in a chaotic manner and fled towards the town. They ran out
After only a few dozen meters, they saw a lot of people with weapons blocking their way, and then many anti-Japanese armed forces came out on both sides of them. They shot while rushing towards the puppet soldiers.
.
Seeing that they were surrounded from all sides, the puppet battalion commander hurriedly led the puppet soldiers to seize a small slope to block the guerrillas' attack.
The puppet troops were still large in number and had relatively strong firepower. Many of the guerrillas who rushed in front were shot and fell. The guerrillas' offensive was frustrated and they lay on the ground and shot at the puppet troops.
At the beginning, the puppet army could resist it. Soon, the guerrillas behind them also gathered around, and their number exceeded the puppet army. These guerrillas obviously had no shortage of ammunition, and their firepower was quite fierce.
The puppet troops were so suppressed that they could not even lift their heads.
The worst thing is that among the guerrillas, there are obviously many sharpshooters, and the puppet soldiers lying on the ground were shot to death one by one. The number of puppet soldiers is constantly decreasing.
What happened next was that the guerrillas actually had mortars in their hands, and the shells kept falling into the middle of the puppet army. The puppet army suffered more and more casualties, and soon they could no longer hold on.
The puppet battalion commander was very puzzled and didn't understand why the guerrillas, who usually had backward equipment and lacked ammunition, were suddenly so powerful.
He knew that if he continued to fight, everything would be lost. So he ordered a soldier next to him to take off his white shirt, swing it on his bayonet, and demand surrender.
The battle ended successfully.
This was the first independent battle since the formation of the Third Brigade of the Songshan Guerrilla Detachment. Guan Zhenshan personally directed the battle. They killed a battalion of puppet troops, which made Guan Zhenshan and the soldiers feel very happy.
The guerrillas continued to do nothing and surrounded the town again. They ordered the captured puppet battalion commander to shout into the town and ask the puppet soldiers who stayed in the town to hand over their guns and surrender.
When the puppet soldiers saw so many anti-Japanese armed forces outside the town and saw that the battalion commander had become a prisoner, they did not continue to resist and quickly surrendered.
Guan Zhenshan and others stayed in the town for an hour, and then withdrew the main force, leaving only one squadron in the town.
An hour later, the guerrillas in the town saw a large number of puppet troops coming from the direction of the county seat. They shot at the puppet troops from a distance, then rushed out of the town and retreated to the place where they had just ambushed the puppet troops.
.
The puppet soldiers saw the guerrillas in the town fleeing. When they passed the town, they did not go in. They bypassed the town and chased the guerrillas.
What came to chase the guerrillas was the main force of the 6th Regiment of the Puppet Army. They saw that the town was occupied by the guerrillas, and knew that something had happened to the previous battalion. They had just transferred over to join the battle, and they lost a battalion and the regiment.
The boss has no way of explaining it to his superiors.
He had to eat part of the guerrillas to make amends. So when they saw the guerrillas escaping, they chased after them desperately.
During the chase, the commander of the puppet army had seen signs of fierce battles nearby, and there were many corpses of puppet soldiers on the ground. He had also become suspicious and worried about being ambushed by the guerrillas.
However, according to experience, it was impossible for the enemy to set up an ambush in the same place, so he continued to command the large group of troops to catch up without hesitation.
Guan Zhenshan has been fighting for 12 years. During these 12 years, he has experienced countless battles and has extremely rich combat experience. He made full use of the puppet army's misunderstanding of ambush warfare and used the same
method, setting up the same ambush at the same location.
The puppet troops were suddenly attacked and beaten into chaos.
The third guerrilla brigade in Guanzhenshan has already exceeded a thousand people. Most of the backbones are old guerrillas and veterans of the Eighth Route Army. They have captured a large number of Japanese equipment and their firepower far exceeds that of the puppet army.
.Although there are many new recruits among them, they have just won a big victory and their morale is very high.
The guerrillas waited for work and besieged the surrounded puppet troops. The puppet troops could not resist anymore. Finally, under the persuasion of the captured puppet battalion commander, the puppet commander also led the remaining puppet troops to hand over guns to the guerrillas.
Surrender.
Guan Zhenshan led the third brigade to fight independently for the first time and defeated a regiment of the puppet Manchukuo army. The battle was very beautiful.
Xu Dalong was very happy after hearing the news and spoke highly of the superb tactics and brave and tenacious fighting spirit of the Third Brigade.
Guan Zhenshan and the commanders and fighters of the Third Battalion had won a great victory and wanted to take advantage of the victory to attack Yidong County. However, they received an order from Xu Dalong to withdraw to Binhe County for rest and recuperation.
Guan Zhenshan with some regret led the team to withdraw from Idong County.
When Su Jianqiang saw that the Third Battalion had won a great victory, he couldn't sit still anymore and asked Xu Dalong to lead the team to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in Yuanping, hoping to fight a happy battle of annihilation.
Of course Xu Dalong was very happy about this. He knew that he would have to leave sooner or later. He also hoped that the various brigades of the Songshan Guerrilla Detachment could mature as soon as possible.
However, most of Su Jianqiang's second brigade are new recruits who have just joined the army, and the old backbone are also from within the pass. Although they have fought several battles with Xu Dalong, they are not familiar with the environment in this area after all. Xu Dalong is worried that they will have problems, but
We can't dampen their fighting spirit.
After listening to Su Jianqiang's combat plan, Xu Dalong helped him make modifications and sent a special operations unit to follow the second brigade.
The second brigade left Heishui County and entered the vast mountains of Songshan. They climbed over the mountains and ridges and came to the second secret camp of the Songshan guerrillas.
After careful reconnaissance, they walked out of the forest and suddenly attacked a group tribe in Yuanping County. After capturing the group tribe, they quickly evacuated.
Matsui was very angry and sent two infantry squadrons and a regiment of the puppet army into the mountains to search and suppress the Second Brigade. As a result, they suffered two more ambushes from the Second Brigade. They suffered heavy losses and had to retreat to Yuanping County.
In this combat operation, the Second Battalion wiped out more than 560 enemies. Although not many weapons, ammunition and supplies were seized, the troops were trained and their combat effectiveness was obviously improved. The harvest was still great.
After the combat operation ended, Xu Dalong ordered the second brigade to stay in the second secret camp for rest and recuperation, not to act without authorization and to obey the unified actions of the guerrilla detachment.
The Japanese and puppet troops continued to lose troops and generals, which made the commander of the Second Division who was eager to restore security in the Yuanping Public Security District very angry. He sent a telegram to Colonel Kawashima who had returned to Yuanping County, urging the Matsui Regiment to launch an attack on the Songshan guerrillas as soon as possible.
Retake Binhe and Heishui county towns and wipe out the Songshan guerrillas.
After discussion, Matsui and Kawashima decided to concentrate the main force of more than 1,600 Japanese troops from the Eighth Regiment, plus more than 4,500 puppet troops from three regiments, for a total force of more than 6,000 people. They would set out from Ito County and attack Binhe County.
After learning that the Japanese and puppet troops were dispatched in large numbers, Xu Dalong ordered Zhu Guangzhao to lead two detachments of the special operations squadron, the Third Battalion and the Fourth Battalion, and each assigned a squadron, under the unified command of Zhu Guangzhao, to carry out attacks on the Japanese marching brigade along the way.
Harassment.
Xu Dalong and the remaining troops of Guan Zhenshan's Third Brigade and Fourth Brigade were ready to evacuate Binhe County.
The reason why Xu Dalong did this was because there were too many Japanese and puppet troops. With the current strength of the Songshan Guerrilla Detachment, it was impossible to eat so many Japanese and puppet troops at once. He wanted to use wolf pack tactics to continuously consume the Japanese and puppet troops.
Reduce their strength bit by bit, and finally annihilate them in one fell swoop. The reason why Xu Dalong did not evacuate Binhe County for the time being is to leave a clear target for the Japanese and puppet troops to attack, so as to grasp their marching route and harass them along the way.
.
After the Japanese and puppet troops set off from Ito County, they were attacked by the first battalion of the guerrillas less than three kilometers out of the city. They were attacked by a detachment of the special operations squadron, all cavalry. They had ambushed the Japanese and puppet troops in advance.
On the march route, mortars were used to bombard the marching brigade of the Japanese and puppet troops from a long distance.
Other special operations team members were lying in ambush two hundred meters in front of the artillery position. When the Japanese and puppet troops launched an attack on the artillery position, they used firepower to kill the Japanese and puppet troops and cover the artillerymen's retreat first. Then they also jumped on their horses and quickly escaped.
Contact with Japanese and puppet troops.
Next, they took advantage of the rapid maneuverability of the cavalry to set up an ambush in front of the marching route of the Japanese and puppet troops, and then launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops.
This tactic is very effective. It is difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to hit them, but they can actually attack the Japanese and puppet troops. Although the results of each battle are not very great, at least dozens of Japanese and puppet troops can be eliminated.
When the marching brigade of the Japanese and puppet troops entered the mountainous forest area, the terrain here was complex, which was not conducive to the movement of the cavalry. The Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade sent two squadrons to attack the marching brigade of the Japanese and puppet troops respectively.
They also used ambush tactics and did not require great results. Each battle was over in just a few minutes. When the Japanese and puppet troops got into an attacking posture, they quickly withdrew.
In this way, when the Japanese and puppet troops set out from Yidong County and rushed to Binhe County, they were attacked more than a dozen times on the road, and the number of losses exceeded 500. Although the Japanese and puppet troops were not injured, they
It also greatly damaged their morale.
Xu Dalong and others abandoned Binhe County and retreated to Heishui County. When the puppet troops attacked Heishui County again, they used the same tactics to harass the Japanese and puppet troops along the way, further consuming their strength.
After the Japanese and puppet troops arrived in Binhe County, they still could not find peace. The cavalry detachment of the First Brigade was active outside the city, and they would attack them with cold guns and artillery fire from time to time. When the puppet troops came out of the city to attack them, they quickly evacuated.
The Japanese and puppet troops were exhausted.
After the Japanese and puppet troops rested in Binhe County for a day, some troops were left to guard the county, and the main force continued to attack Heishui County.
This time, in addition to the cavalry of the First Brigade, the Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade deployed two squadrons respectively to harass the marching brigade of the Japanese and puppet troops along the way.
The Japanese and puppet troops are also very smart. They have already learned the tactics of the guerrillas and are constantly learning and summarizing their experience.
In order to fight against the invading guerrillas, when they were attacked by the guerrillas, the Japanese and puppet troops fought fiercely and chased the retreating guerrillas, hoping to eat up a group of incoming guerrillas and make them
The guerrillas no longer dare to attack with a small number of troops.
However, they still underestimated the guerrilla tactics of the guerrillas. After they launched the attack, they quickly evacuated. When they saw the Japanese and puppet troops pursuing them, they adopted the tactics of alternating cover to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from getting close, and finally escaped smoothly.
