322, Panjiayu dripping blood
Bai Shujie didn't bother to care, it didn't matter if the 92 infantry cannon killed the enemy, and how many little devils it killed in the end. Because this round of short artillery bombardment was nothing more than a diversion attack, creating an opportunity for the assault troops on the Great Wall. What really played a role was the commando team led by Tang Hongyi and Zhong Guitang.
In addition to disrupting the deployment of the little devils on the top of the gate, the other most critical role of the two 92 infantry guns was to aim at the little devil machine gun fortifications on the main road of Baiyangyu Pass, and fired two flat-fire shells, which blew up the little devils and the machine guns into parts, opening the passage for the flanking troops led by Chang Bikuan!
Bai Shujie saw the little devil at the gate of the city being blown away in the binoculars, and after Chang Bikuan led two hundred people to rush in, he gently patted the horse's neck, and the dark clouds neighed for a long time, and then the four hooves flew down the hillside and rushed down.
Twenty minutes later, a black Xiongguan appeared in front of Bai Shujie's eyes. Although dilapidated, in the pre-dawn darkness, it still felt intimidating.
Bai Shujie restrained his war horse, staring at the black doorway of Baiyangyu, as if he hadn't heard the explosions and shouts above the gate. The slightest pungent smell of chili peppers wafting down with the wind, he already knew the ending of the battle.
The purpose of this roundabout raid operation was not simply to pursue the destruction of the enemy, so Bai Shujie did not care about the battle process and the results obtained. His main task is to rush to the Baiyangdian line east of Baoding to find out what happened to the bandits who killed Geng Fengbiao!
Therefore, what he is most worried about now is that he is afraid that he will be entangled by the little devil's reinforcements and will not be able to get out.
The reason why he stopped here and didn't move was that he was just waiting for the large army behind him, because the dark clouds were too fast, and after taking the lead, he was now alone here.
After waiting for about thirty seconds, the sound of horses' hooves was finally heard behind him. Bai Shujie turned his head and saw that the first to arrive was a platoon of Zhao Qinglin's headquarters who had just completed the artillery bombardment and split the infantry artillery.
Bai Shujie sat on the back of the horse and did not turn around, but directly gave an order: "Zhao Qinglin, you don't have to wait here, immediately rush out of the door hole and raid Da Cui Zhuang." According to the reconnaissance report of the 12th Regiment, there was a logistical supply base for the little devils. ”
Zhao Qinglin led people away, and Bai Shujie found that countless figures on the city tower fell down. The plopping was like the sound of sandbags being thrown on the ground, and occasionally a few grunts could be heard, only to be interrupted by someone who had fallen from behind. There are a few figures who may have used too much force on the city tower and almost smashed into Bai Shujie.
"Holy shit! What are these shriveled calves doing? Seeing this situation, Bai Shujie hurriedly let the war horse retreat a distance, and his mouth was still indignant: "Do you give the boss a gift like this?" If you don't clean it up for a day, your skin will itch! I don't know if Lao Tzu is downstairs, throw any garbage down! ”
No matter what he called, no one on the castle tower could hear him. Besides, it's four or five o'clock in the morning, who can see anyone under the dark city walls? It's not good for you to stay anywhere, why are you running around here?
Bai Shujie was not stoned to death by the corpse of the little devil, which can only be said that his shit luck is not ordinarily good. If the commander-in-chief of the dignified front army, Zuihou ended up being stoned to death by the corpse of the little devil, it would be groundbreaking.
When Xiao Lamei led the follow-up troops to arrive, it was already quiet on the city tower, and there were no more corpses of little devils thrown down.
"Send a telegram to Tao Chengzhou of the 12th Regiment: Immediately send no less than one company to occupy the Baiyangyu Fortress and the Xifengkou Fortress, equipped with three twin Type 92 anti-aircraft heavy machine guns and nine mortars that have just been issued. At the same time, repair the Dalingzhai fortress as soon as possible, block the northeastern passage of the Great Wall, and ensure the safety of the west and south sides of Qinglong and Kuancheng. Bai Shujie. ”
Xiao Lamei had just finished sending the telegram when there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from under the city gate tower in front of her, and then from near to far, and finally disappeared.
"Alright, the big troops have set off, and we are now the rearguard. Lamei told the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance to prevent enemy reinforcements from catching up. Bai Shujie twisted his body on horseback: "All of them, Da Cui Zhuang, let's go!" ”
The journey was safe and sound, Bai Shujie and the others arrived at Da Cui Zhuang an hour later, and met a platoon of Zhao Qinglin standing on the road with torches.
It turned out that the large army had already crossed the Luan River on the front line of Houjiatai and was heading towards the mountains to the south. It didn't take much trouble to capture the supply depot of the little devils, there was only one class of little devils guarding here. In addition to the canned food of the little devils, the other supplies were loaded with 24 horses from the captured little devils' pack horses.
As for the food and ammunition, they have all been drenched with gasoline, just waiting for Bai Shujie and them to leave, just a matter of a torch.
After crossing the Luanhe River on a temporary pontoon bridge, we entered the mountain southeast of Qianxi County from Xiangfengyu, and then crossed the Phoenix Mountain to arrive at the first foothold determined by Bai Shujie: Sanjian Mountain!
Not many people know this name, and the locals have different names. However, people with a little historical common sense, if they mention the "Panjiayu tragedy", they will not be unaware!
The southwest straight line distance of Sanjian Mountain is eight kilometers, which is Panjiayu Village. This is the scope of activities of the 12th Regiment of the Eastern Hebei Army Division after the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, and Panjiayu Village is a fortress village.
In January 1941, the commander of the little devil unit stationed in Tangshan summoned the Fengrun adviser Sasaki Jiro and the little devil officers in Zunhua, Yutian, Luanxian, Qian'an, Lulong, Funing and other counties, as well as the puppet Fengrun County Office, the garrison brigade, and the police station to collude with traitors and local reactionary landlords to plan a conspiracy to bloody Panjiayu.
On January 25, 1941 (the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth month of the old calendar), the little devils who were inferior to pigs and dogs gathered more than 3,000 devils and more than 2,000 hardcore traitors and puppet soldiers in more than a dozen counties, taking advantage of the darkness before dawn to tightly surround Panjiayu.
Of the village's 1,700 people, 1,230 were killed, including more than 650 women and children. Twenty-three households were killed, 96 were injured, all property was looted, and 1,235 houses were burned down. By the time the survivors later buried their loved ones, more than 800 people were burned beyond recognition.
All women over the age of 9 in the village were wheeled. After rape, he was brutally killed.
Six or seven little devils broke into Pan Baohe's house, and they first drove Pan Baohe and his two sons out of the door and killed them in the ditch with bayonets. Then put Pan Baohe's wife and 13-year-old daughter wheel. Rape, wheel. After the rape, he was also killed with a bayonet.
Pan Ruicai's wife was used a bayonet from the yin after being ** by 3 little devils. Dao stabbed in and picked death.
Near Xida Hang, there were 30 women who were picked to cook for the little devils. After the rape, he was burned to death in the vegetable cellar.
As a person in two lives, Bai Shujie will naturally not forget this blood feud! Before the task force led by him stepped into the North China Plain, it was to conduct strategic reconnaissance here. This belongs to the remnants of Yanshan, and the further south the mountain becomes, the lower it becomes, and if you want to have a foothold in the future, Jianshan must have its own secret base.
There is no way to talk about these things with others, so his decision is often incomprehensible to Zhao Jinxi and others. Fortunately, Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong were all tied to him, and they never thought that Bai Shujie would do something aimless, so they would give their full support unconditionally.
As for the other generals who are in charge of their own affairs, none of them have any clear political opinions. The consistent attitude is: Anyway, I came here with Bai Shujie, and he said that he would do whatever he wanted. Because of this, Bai Shujie can leave with peace of mind.
Zhong Guitang arrived in advance and immediately searched the five nearby mountains carefully. Make sure there are no outsiders here, and find a group of karst caves halfway up Sanjian Mountain.
After a detailed investigation, Zhong Guitang believed that there was no problem with hiding more than a hundred or so people here. In order to accommodate the current more than 500 people, it must be scattered over the five surrounding mountains. How to deal with it can only wait for Bai Shujie to catch up before making a decision.
At around half past seven in the morning, Zhong Guitang asked everyone to count the captures of this battle, and the rearguard troops led by Bai Shujie had already arrived.
"Camp in place for the time being, and immediately monitor the surroundings." Bai Shujie dismounted and said, "We are now in the heart of the little devil, and we raided the Xifengkou Fortress last night, the little devil will definitely go crazy." Everyone didn't sleep all night, and all the posts were handed over every hour to ensure that everyone could take turns to rest. If nothing happens, rest here for three days. ”
The temporary headquarters was set up in a karst cave halfway up Sanjian Mountain, and Bai Shujie slept until the afternoon before he woke up. Everyone else had a good rest, but he only slept for three hours in two days and two nights.
After getting the news that Bai Shujie had woken up, Zhong Guitang immediately came over: "Report: According to the news that the scouts have returned, the little devils have dispatched a brigade, which is currently concentrated in Qianxi County. It seems that they are still verifying the loss of the Xifengkou Fortress, and there is no specific movement for the time being. ”
"Order the investigators to closely monitor the movements of the little devils, and report any situation immediately!" While eating, Bai Shujie said, "In addition, call the two company commanders and the three of you detachment commanders over, this unit needs to be adjusted." ”
After Zhong Guitang left, Bai Shujie asked Xiao Lamei to send a telegram to Zhao Jinxi, focusing on the defense of the 12th Regiment under Lan Caiqin's department. Because the movement this time is too big, we must beware of the little devils fighting for the Xifeng Pass, and at the same time, we must also prevent the little devils from retaliating in other directions.
Bai Shujie asked this army to stay here just to find out how the little devil would deal with this matter. In his impression, after the reorganization of the Fifth Division of the little devil, it would take two years before Dagu landed in the Pingjin area.
The little devil's current "China Garrison Army" in Tianjin is currently only related to the 11th Independent Brigade of the Eastern Army, that is, the Suzuki Shigeyasu Independent Mixed Brigade of more than 4,800 people; Two independent garrison brigades, about 2,400 people. Counting the heavy artillery wing brought by Tada Jun, it was only about 10,000 people. If you want to make any big moves, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
