Yang Zhen ambushed Weihe County to reinforce the Japanese army in Zhoujiayingzi, and the battle went very smoothly. Since the Liudaohezi Pioneer Regiment was attacked and all the advance personnel were wiped out, the Japanese army paid much attention to the safety of each Pioneer Regiment. Especially in those areas where they say that anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese armed activities are carried out, the vigilance is much more cautious.

In addition to the original practice of equipping each pioneer regiment with weapons and arranging puppet Manchu military police around it, a mobile unit equipped with trucks was also arranged in each county town where the pioneer regiment was stationed, so that reinforcements could be made at any time.

Although most of the Japanese puppet army troops in Weihe County were transferred to the Cauldron Helmet Mountain in the Yabuli region to encircle and suppress the anti-union forces trapped there, the Japanese puppet army left in the city still moved extremely fast.

Just half an hour after the detailed attack on the Japanese Pioneer Regiment in Zhoujiayingzi was launched, Yang Zhen received a report that the Japanese advance had crossed the Ant River and approached the front line of Zhoujiayingzi. It's just that the number of enemy reinforcements is a little different from the number in the intelligence.

According to Yang Zhen's knowledge, in addition to some puppet Manchurian policemen in Weihe County, there were also two squadrons of Japanese soldiers. According to the report sent back by the observation post arranged at the Ant River, apart from more than 20 puppet Manchu military police, the Japanese army only dispatched one squadron this time.

Although I was a little worried about the movements of the Japanese squadron that did not move, the arrow was already on the string, and there was no reason not to send it. When all the Japanese troops who came to the rescue entered the ambush circle, with Yang Zhen's order, dense machine-gun fire swept through the Japanese troops along with the constantly falling mortar shells.

Although the mortar platoon formed by the two mortars captured in Wei'an Mountain was a beginner's training, it was also practiced for a while on the prop cannon made of wood by Yang Zhen. Although the accuracy is not even satisfactory, fortunately, Yang Zhen does not have too many requirements for them. Yang Zhen only asked them to be able to shoot the shells, as long as they fell among the enemy, not among their own people.

For these artillerymen who are not even half-stretched, this is the first time to contact the artillery, Yang Zhen naturally did not hope that they would achieve much success. For them, the only thing Yang Zhen asked of them now was to truly master the use of mortars in this battle.

It was also an ambush battle, compared with the original Liudaohezi and the previous two ambushes in Wei'an Mountain, this face-to-face ambush battle with the Japanese army was the real test for Yang Zhen's troops. Compared with the previous puppet Manchu military and police, these Japanese troops not only fought much more supremely, but also had a much more tenacious fighting spirit.

After discovering that they were ambushed, the Japanese squadron that reinforced the front line of Zhoujiayingzi did not retreat at the first time when it was hit by fire. Under the intense fire of Yang Zhen's headquarters, the Japanese troops, who quickly reacted, immediately disregarded the casualties and launched a counterattack under the cover of barely added grenadiers, several outer-handle machine guns, and a Type 92 heavy machine gun. Moreover, the judgment of the location of Yang Zhen's ambush is extremely accurate.

Looking at the Japanese army that was constantly launching counterattacks, Yang Zhen, who was holding a telescope to observe the progress of the war, said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it is the Kwantung Army, which is known as the elite of the Japanese army, and this arrogant style is not comparable to ordinary armies." Even under the intensive fire of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns of his own troops, the speed of reaction was definitely not comparable to that of the puppet Manchu military police. Grandma's, it's so fucking hard. ”

Although the Japanese army immediately judged the location of the ambush of its own people, under the fire of more than a dozen machine guns, especially under the attack of the mortar shells, which were not very accurate, but the momentum was terrifying, although they could still launch a counterattack, the strength of their fire cover was greatly reduced.

Under the firepower, the Japanese machine gunners had just added their machine guns, and they were knocked out by more than a dozen veterans who had arranged in advance by Yang Zhen to fight machine gunners and grenadiers. And a few grenadiers only had time to fire one or two grenades, and they were beaten into a hornet's nest by two light machine guns specially arranged by Yang Zhen to suppress firepower.

Yang Zhen has long been wary of the grenadier canister, a weapon of close-range combat that countless veterans who have experienced the Anti-Japanese War in later generations, especially the machine gunners, who have gritted their teeth when they mention it, and both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party who have been fighting with the devil for eight years are conditionally imitating it, and there is no condition to create zào conditions.

As early as when the ambush circle was arranged, Yang Zhen specially arranged two light machine guns to fight the grenadiers of the devils. It's a pity that despite the ample preparations, the devils in front of him are all veterans who have been trained for a long time. Even if you aim in a hurry, your accuracy and reaction speed are absolutely top-notch.

Even a few grenades hurriedly fired by a few devil grenadiers added up to a few rounds, which also brought a lot of casualties to Yang Zhen's department. One light and one heavy machine gun were destroyed on top of these grenades.

Fortunately, the devil is strong, but it is not iron. After several counterattacks without progress, but in exchange for more than half of the casualties, it could no longer withstand the blow of firepower. After several counterattacks, they were hit by machine-gun fire and grenades that exploded in mid-air, and gradually retreated in the direction of the river beach where Yang Zhen expected them to be buried last.

When the remnants of the Japanese army finally retreated to the river beach according to Yang Zhen's calculations and were looking for cover, Guo Bingxun, who had been silent since the battle began, also started.

Seeing that the Japanese army, which was still resisting stubbornly just now, was completely badly attacked by the dense firepower that suddenly appeared from behind, Yang Zhen did not hesitate to order the troops to charge except for a company led by Peng Dingjie to cut off the devil's retreat. At this time, Liu Changshun, who was attacking the Japanese Pioneer Regiment in Zhoujiayingzi, also turned around, and the command post was pressed up from the front.

In the case that there is not much training in white-knuckle warfare, there is too much difference between the white-knuckle combat ability of the Japanese army, and Yang Zhen himself tries to avoid fighting bayonets with devils, and the tactical combination specially trained for devils in Laohedingzi Mountain really shows its power for the first time at this time. Moreover, after the two battles of Liudaohezi and Wei Anshan, a lot of submachine guns were captured, and the pistols were replaced with more powerful.

When the remnants of the more than 30 devils trapped on the river beach saw the opponents who were charging up from all sides, and they were returning the rifle bullets in their hands according to their usual training, the submachine guns in the submachine guns of Yang Zhen's subordinates had already fired, and they were not given a chance to fight bayonets at all.

Since the captured submachine guns are quite a lot, the number of captured bullets is really not a lot for this weapon. Therefore, in the previous battle, Yang Zhen has not used these submachine guns, and Yang Zhen has to keep the few bullets for use in white-knuckle battles.

Even during the hurried combat training that was calculated before, Yang Zhen only let the selected submachine gunner shoot a few rounds to master the sense of the gun. It was not as generous as when it was trained to use rifles and machine guns, and almost destroyed more than half of the ammunition reserves on hand.

Yang Zhen has always been worried that the Japanese army is not equipped with submachine guns, and all weapons and ammunition rely on the Japanese army's supply of the puppet Manchurian military and police, and the number of submachine guns equipped is not too much. Once the limited submachine gun ammo is depleted, it is difficult to replenish it. Until a lot of submachine guns and ammunition were captured in the first battle of Wei'an Mountain, Yang Zhen still held this idea.

Fortunately, this weapon, which is known for its firepower intensity, does not require much training, let alone the accurate shooting level of a rifle. Just aim roughly at your opponent and shoot out the bullets inserted in the magazine on the side of the gun. Maintenance is also simple and tight, if it is not too expensive bullets and range can not be compared with the rifle machine gun, this weapon is still very suitable for Yang Zhen and their recruits account for the use of most troops.

When the gunfire fell silent, the entire battlefield that was more than 200 meters long from east to west and dozens of meters wide from north to south was relatively fast, and at the first time the gunfire rang out, they lay on the ground and escaped without getting up.

As for the corpses on the ground, the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield would make up a bayonet according to Yang Zhen's request, so as not to escape. The wounded who have not died for the time being will naturally not want it, and Yang Zhen has no time and no manpower and medicine to treat these two-legged beasts at the moment.

After the gunfire on the battlefield completely fell, Yang Zhen, who knew what it meant to be a soldier and a god, hastily cleaned up the battlefield, buried the bodies of dozens of soldiers who had died in battle, and marked the burial place for future search, and immediately set off for Weihe County.

There is no way, the first line of Zhoujiayingzi is really not far from Weihe County. The dense gunfire in this period is that even ghosts may wake up, let alone the county town of Weihe, which is close at hand?

Even if the county seat of Weihe is empty of troops now, it is not an ancient time where it can only rely on manpower to transmit news. Telegrams and telephones are easy to get all the news to where they want it to go. Once the Japanese puppet army left behind in Weihe County felt that the situation was wrong, it was easy to gather reinforcements. In order to gain as much time as possible, Yang Zhen could only lead the army to set off after cleaning the battlefield in a hurry. As for the interrogation of the prisoners, it could only be carried out on the march.

Fortunately, these pseudo-policemen themselves don't have much backbone, and they only have a few rifle butts to confess. Although they didn't know much news, it was enough for Yang Zhen. After all, even if it is for his own dog, the little devil is not completely at ease. What's more, these puppet Manchurian policemen are just a few small fish.

The reason why the devil only dispatched one squadron to reinforce the front line of Zhoujiayingzi this time was not because of Tuoda, but because there was only one regular Japanese squadron left in the entire Weihe County. The other one was yesterday to escort Yasui Toji, who was originally sitting in Weihe County to supervise the liquidation of the coalition forces, to Mudanjiang.

Since the attack on the Liudaohezi Pioneer Group in the Pearl River has all been killed, he has been reprimanded by the base camp for a long time, and he is still in the period of meritorious service because of the epidemic prevention and water supply incident, and because of this incident, Kenkichi Ueda, who almost did not pack up and return to Japan, still attaches great importance to the so-called national policy of the empire and the security of the pioneer group.

According to the requirements of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, an active army general, the following Japanese puppet army units will definitely not send only one squadron when they receive a report of an attack on the pioneer regiment. Therefore, although the Japanese puppet army in Weihe County, which reinforced Zhou's camp this time, only came with one squadron, it could definitely be regarded as a dumping sortie.

The main force of the Japanese puppet army originally stationed in Weihe County was completely annihilated by Yang Zhen in the battle of Wei'an Mountain. The Japanese army that reinforced the front line of Zhoujiayingzi was completely wiped out, which meant that the Japanese puppet army in Weihe County had been basically wiped out.

At this moment, there are only a few puppet Manchurian policemen left, plus more than a dozen Japanese military policemen, and the county town of Weihe is almost undefended. Yang Zhen easily took this small county seat without the slightest difficulty.

The only two places where Yang Zhen encountered in Weihe County, where there was only slight resistance, occurred at the railway station and by the gendarmerie. The resistance of a dozen gendarmes armed only with rifles and pistols in these two places did not make Yang Zhen much effort, and he was quickly eliminated.

After clearing the last resistance in the city, Yang Zhen issued two orders in a row. The first was to confiscate all Japanese shops and banks in Weihe County in the name of confiscating the enemy's property. In particular, after the September 18 Incident and the fall of the entire Northeast China, Japan strictly controlled the batteries, equipment, and medicines and other materials that could be used by the radio station, as well as medicines and other materials urgently needed by the troops.

Second, under the leadership and identification of the arrested so-called anti-Manchu anti-Japanese personnel who had just been released from the gendarmerie and the puppet Manchu prison, the traitors and traitors in the entire Weihe County were arrested.

After a brief public trial, all the captured puppet Manchurian military police military personnel at the rank of lieutenant and above, the military police squad leader and above, and the section chief of the puppet Manchurian county government were all publicly executed. In particular, the few traitors who were captured by the Anti-Japanese Federation did not leave any of them.

In addition to the traitors who appeared in the Western Expedition of the Anti-United Nations, in addition to those who were killed on the front line of Wei'an Mountain, the remaining high-ranking cadres who were ready to be used as a follow-up encirclement and suppression of the Anti-United Nations were captured and quickly executed after a short interrogation.

Li Yanping, who gritted his teeth for these traitors, personally used a machine gun to beat him, a favorite general he liked before, but became a traitor at the most critical time, into a hornet's nest.

Looking at Li Yanping, who inspected the corpses of the traitors one by one and made up for them from time to time, Yang Zhen shook his head and stopped Peng Dingjie, who wanted to dissuade him, and said, "Let him vent?" This time, the four armies of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were almost completely wiped out, especially the defection of those few beloved generals, which hit him too hard. ”

Hearing this, Peng Dingjie sighed: "Lao Yang, I don't know if this kind of thing happened when the Red Army in Guannai was there, but now the Anti-Japanese Federation is really scared of traitors." The dignified secretary of the provincial party committee and several commanders of the main division, who have been tested for a long time and fought all the way from the rain of bullets, betrayed their beliefs and betrayed the cause for which they had promised to fight for their lives when they were in danger and when they were most needed. He betrayed the country and the nation. ”

Pointing to the corpse of a traitor in one of them, Peng Dingjie said with some sadness: "That person is the commander of the First Division of the Fifth Army, and he is also one of the commanders of the Fifth Army who is most under the command of General Zhou of the Second Route Army. ”

"He was betrayed by traitors back then, and he was tortured in the Little Devil Prison without defecting. I didn't expect that now he would be a traitor when the Anti-Japanese Federation needed him the most, and he also took away the division with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Fifth Army. If Commander-in-Chief Zhou knew about this, he didn't know how heartbroken he would be. ”

"The path is chosen by themselves, and no one else can control it. There was also a division commander who defected and took away a division, which shows that there is a problem with the troops themselves. At the time of the defeat of the Western Route Army, the situation faced by the Red Army's troops in the Western Expedition was much more severe than it is now.

However, many of the nearly 20,000 Red Army officers and men and cadres at all levels were captured, and even more died under the enemy's butcher's knife after being captured. But among so many cadres, there was only one traitor. And this traitor did not even take a single guard with him when he left. If he hadn't been tricked out of the guard's gun and knew that he had defected, his guard would have shot him first. ”

"There were also a lot of traitors to the Red Army in the Guannai, but to be honest, there were very few of these traitors who could pull away the troops. Whether it was the Red Army, the main force of the Long March, or the guerrillas who remained in the south after the Long March, even in the most difficult circumstances, it was very rare for the leader of a unit to defect and take away a collective defection of a single unit. ”

Of course, this has something to do with the difference in the environment, and the cruelty of the environment in the Northeast is not comparable to that of the warm South. But it also has a certain relationship with the Anti-United Nations itself. In a word, striking iron also needs its own hardness. As long as we continue to achieve victories and build up a strong confidence in victory among the cadres and soldiers, there will be fewer and fewer such defections. Lao Peng, this is not just something that I need to work on, but all of us need to work hard. ”

"Commander, you see that we actually captured a train of devils transporting ammunition and supplies to Suifenhe at Weihe Station." When Yang Zhen and Peng Dingjie were talking, Guo Bingxun, who went to count the loot, came to interrupt their conversation, and handed over a stack of materials in his hand to Yang Zhen with some excitement.

After Yang Zhen took the information and read it carefully, he raised his head and said to Guo Bingxun: "Old Guo, a train transporting supplies and munitions was seized at the station in Weihe County, which is a good thing." There is also this Devil Army Train schedule, you immediately send it to Li Mingrui and ask him to prepare for action immediately. The devil's troop train will arrive at Weihe Station in an hour and a half, so let them hurry up and set it up. ”

"And Lao Guo, try to replenish the supplies on the arms train as much as possible. If you can't take it with you, you will blow it up when we leave. In addition, send a competent man with a company to transfer some of the supplies, especially the military uniforms and all the wounded, back to the secret camp of Laoheidazi Mountain. ”

"After counting the seized supplies, we will evacuate immediately. This is not a place to stay for long. According to the speed of the devil's reaction, they will find out our whereabouts by tomorrow at the latest. ”

After explaining Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen turned his head to Peng Dingjie on the side and said: "Old Peng, you go to check, you must pay attention to the discipline of the masses." When collecting mules, horses, and supplies, they are all purchased in cash. Forced buying and selling is not allowed. Doing a good job in mass work and strictly grasping the discipline of the masses is the basis for our survival. Therefore, we must repeatedly emphasize mass discipline with regard to the troops. ”

"Also, to show our attitude to those who are going to join the army. However, it is necessary to ask the comrades of the underground party in Weihe to check the gates. Those who have misdeeds should not smoke big cigarettes. In addition, it is necessary to strictly prevent enemy special elements from mixing into the troops. Our troops have a small number of manpower, especially not many qualified political workers. You should discuss with Commander Li and see if you can recruit some comrades from the county party committee to participate? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said apologetically: "Old Peng, there is no way." We now have too few qualified political workers, and you can only temporarily serve as the political commissar and the director of the political department. Mass discipline and mass policy, such an important matter that has a bearing on the life and death of our army, can only be undertaken by you alone for the time being. ”

"Zhang Ting, that girl, has a hand in healing, but let her assist you, according to her impulsive strength, it would be good not to cause trouble for you. Besides, there were a lot of wounded in the continuous battle, and she couldn't be busy alone. But you have to pay attention to your body, but don't get tired.

Peng Dingjie listened to Yang Zhen's instructions, nodded and said, "Old Yang, don't worry, I know what to do." As long as our troops can grow and drive the devils out of China, I will be willing to die of exhaustion. Moreover, grasping the work of the masses itself is the duty of me, the political commissar. ”
