681. Continue to play scoundrels
Because Bai Shujie laid an ambush in advance, this time Zhao Meiyan's independent division began to move on a 130-kilometer-long front from Lingqiu, Fanzhi, Daixian, and Yanmen Pass at the same time, and the three county towns and Yanmen Pass were taken at the same time, and the passage into Shanxi was opened.
All the troops involved in the battle strictly carried out Bai Shujie's orders, and this time the surprise action only took place in a small area of clashes at Yanmen Pass, and all other places were captured.
The two reconnaissance companies that had been ambushed within Yanmen Pass for a long time did not stay in place for long before they took Yangmingbao, which was unguarded. The cavalry regiment that entered the Yanmen Pass was the cavalry regiment, which attacked westward without the slightest pause. After robbing the wind cliff and Yemaliang, they took Xuangang Town, which was undefended, and went straight to Ningwu County.
The soldiers were bloodless along the way, and the cavalry regiment had already occupied Shenchi County in the afternoon of the next day. Yan Xishan didn't believe it after receiving Bai Shujie's clear code, and when he began to confirm the information, Zhao Meiyan's main force had already entered Yuanping County, and Xinzhou had also fallen.
At this time, the Jin army was on the periphery, and there was only one regiment in Taiyuan City. The nearest reinforcements are Taigu and Qi County south of Taiyuan City, and it is too late.
Yan Xishan, an old man from Taiyuan, sent scouts to make a final confirmation and found the banner of the "Rehe Provincial Armed Escort Company".
"I see, then it's okay." Yan Xishan finally put his mind at ease: "What are you reporting indiscriminately? This is just a company that came from Rehe from time to time, and people pass by here to do business, isn't this normal. Look at you one by one, I panicked. The Jingle garrison was ordered to immediately lay down their supplies and leave the county to avoid misunderstandings. ”
The final result did not disappoint Yan Xishan, and the "Rehe Garrison Command Armed Escort Company" was stationed outside the city, and their "escort personnel and materials" only stayed in the city for an hour and a half before passing through the city, heading straight for Qilan County, and sure enough, they were going to cross the Yellow River.
It was at this time that the old man in Taiyuan sent a clear code telegram, and the most critical meaning was to hope that Bai Shujie would use the relationship between the two families to come forward to coordinate it, so that everyone would talk about it and disperse, and the past would not be blamed.
There is no way, this battle cannot be fought.
The "Armed Escort Company" actually has 6 Meiji 41-style 75mm cavalry field guns! Although the cannon was not fired, not even the cannon jacket was completely undone, it only exposed the muzzle of the gun.
But this shows that Bai Shujie is not lying, people are not coming to be enemies, but real borrowing. Moreover, Bai Shujie got a lot of good things back from the Japanese, as long as he is a soldier, he knows it. Besides, Yan Xishan and Kenji Dohihara are still alumni, so they know too much about Japanese things!
There are more than 10,000 "rabble" in the "little junior sister" escort team mentioned by Bai Shujie, only a fool would believe it! The people who came out of the Rehe Front, will they be some kind of fucking "rabble"?
A so-called "escort company" has seven or eight hundred people, and there are six artillery pieces. According to this arrangement, how many cannons will there be for the other "more than 10,000 rabble"?
That's why the old man in Taiyuan said, "There is no good hand in fighting, and it hurts people and loses money." This sentence is absolutely true, you bombed out six artillery pieces in one round, killing and injuring many people, and you yourself lost hundreds of oceans of shell money.
Everyone is a businessman, this kind of business that does not make money on both sides is still less, the key is whether the third party will agree to break up? Therefore, the old man in Taiyuan needs Bai Shuzhu to mediate and see where the wind is going.
Bai Shujie has already said in the telegram: I won't be a fart when I speak. Since this is the case, I have to act as a "media puller" and stand up and say a few words.
Declaration of the Rehe Garrison Command on the Shanxi Dispute:
"Shocked to hear that some disputes have occurred in Shanxi in recent days, which have had a great impact, the Rehe Garrison Command expressed its concern and uneasiness. At the same time, it is hoped that all parties concerned will do their best to exercise restraint so as not to escalate ordinary disputes and cause irreparable losses. ”
"Fang is down today, the jackal looks around the side, waiting for an opportunity to hurt people all night; Foreign enemies are eyeing each other, and the heart of China will not die. All our patriotic compatriots should unite to defend the Chinese nation from aggression by hating the same enemy. ”
"The Rehe Garrison Command has always advocated that all forces should abandon their prejudices and properly negotiate a strategy to resolve external troubles. Instead of fighting in the same room, giving foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of. Here's a warning to the traitorous group, don't make a mistake about yourself! ”
"In order to further promote the prosperity of the market, the armed escort company in Rehe Province is ready to further develop the market. In the future, we will try our best to expand the trade routes of Fushi (now Yan'an), Luochuan, and even Xi'an. ”
"In order to prevent the thieves from swarming in this area and causing a spread, the Armed Transport Company of Rehe Province has decided to strengthen its security work here. It also appropriately increased the number of weapons and equipment in order to ensure that everything was perfect, and it was tentatively set at 120 Makqin heavy machine guns, 120 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 24 75mm field guns, 24 75mm mountain guns, and 240 twin anti-aircraft machine guns. ”
"I hope that all forces will be careful and not stray into the scope of the attack, thus causing irreparable regrets. It is not easy for armed escort companies to travel long distances to replenish ammunition. If someone deliberately causes our losses, the Rehe Garrison Command will definitely not sit idly by! I hope that all parties will understand. ”
The declaration of the current situation of the Rehe Garrison Command is completely a threat.
There is only one object of threat: the southern government, and the accompanying is the Northeast Army that has entered the territory of Shaanxi. The destinations of the threat are Fushi (Yan'an) and Luochuan, that is, the location of the former enemy headquarters of the young marshal Xiao Liuzi.
Bai Shujie deliberately announced all the heavy weapons of Zhao Meiyan's independent division, which was a gesture: I'm not afraid that you know! If you are not afraid of death, you can come, whether it is on the ground or in the sky.
The first person who was shocked was neither Yan Xishan nor Jiang someone, but the young marshal Xiaoliuzi who was inspecting the skin!
Although he is a descendant of bandits, Xiao Liuzi feels that the banditry in his body is far from catching up with Bai Shujie's bastard.
Now that Bai Shujie jumped out and said that he had taken a fancy to the realm of Fu Shi and Luochuan, then he would definitely be able to do a lot of despicable and shameless things. Only you can't think of it, there's nothing he can't do.
For a bastard like Bai Shujie who specializes in finding trouble and causing trouble everywhere, Young Marshal Xiao Liuzi feels that he doesn't need to have general knowledge with the other party, which is a loss of his identity. At the same time, he also thinks that the current Fu Shi and Luo Chuan have become chicken ribs, and they are likely to cause unnecessary unexpected disputes.
Yes, Bai Shujie, that bastard, often causes you some inexplicable "unexpected disputes", which makes you as disgusting as eating a fly.
Forget it, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Under the order of the young marshal of Xiaoliuzi, Wang Yizhe immediately led his troops to set off, retreated directly to the south for 110 kilometers, and then set up camp in Tongchuan.
It is said that Zhao Meiyan rushed to Baode County on the east bank of the Yellow River seven days later without spending a single shot on Yan Xishan's free supply of grain and grass along the way.
The commander of the cavalry regiment rushed over to report: 20,000 people have been concentrated in the county town for a month's grain and grass, and 120 wooden boats have been concentrated on the riverside, and the boatmen are complete, saying that they are specially sending troops across the river! The 1st Battalion of the Cavalry Regiment had crossed the river and established a foothold in Fugu County.
Zhao Meiyan nodded, and then said to the communication company: "Send a telegram: Our department has safely arrived in Baode County on the east bank of the Yellow River and is crossing the river into Fugu County. My mother's house is in front of me, please rest assured. I haven't been home for many years, and now I don't know the way, I hope my mother's family will come and lead the way! Political Commissar and Division Commander of the Xiongxian Independent Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army: Zhao Meiyan. ”
It was only at this time that Bai Shujie's hanging heart was put down: Liu Zhidan's Red 28th Army had not had time to cross the river, and Zhao Meiyan had already crossed the Yellow River west to block his way!
A tiger general did not die in Sanjiao Town back then, this is the real reason why Bai Shujie made so many conspiracies!
Liu Zhidan's original name was Liu Jinggui, and the word Zidan. He was born on October 4, 1903 in Jintang Town, Baoan County (now Zhidan County), Shaanxi Province.
In the fall of 1925, he was admitted to the Whampoa Military Academy and was a top student in the third phase. After graduation, he served as the chief of the Fourth Route Military Administration of the National Revolutionary Army and participated in the Northern Expedition.
In March 1936, Liu Zhidan led the Red 28th Army to participate in the Eastern Expedition and defeated the enemy in the northwest of Shanxi. On April 14, he died heroically in the battle of Sanjiao Town (now part of Liulin County) in Zhongyang County at the age of 33.
Bai Shujie has always believed that if a tiger general like Liu Zhidan dies on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, he will die a well-deserved death. If you die in Sanjiao Town like this, it will be called death.
Zhao Meiyan didn't know Bai Shujie's true purpose, but the artillery regiment and the baggage battalion were the top priority of this westward expedition, and she always remembered Bai Shujie's instructions: "You can throw away everything, but at the last moment, the artillery regiment and the baggage battalion cannot be abandoned." ”
Now that she was about to leave Shaanxi Province, she was worried that Yan Xishan would rebel, so she ordered the air defense battalion to build a position west of the Yellow River to prevent the enemy's air attack on the artillery regiment.
This was the first time in the entire course of the Western Expedition that the air defense battalion was in full swing:
This air defense battalion was formed in strict accordance with the standards of the air defense battalion of the guard regiment of the Rehe Front Army Headquarters. The battalion has a guard platoon (70 people), four air defense companies (226×4), and a support company (226 people), for a total of 1,202 people.
Each squad has 3 twin Makqin, a platoon is 12, a company has 48, and the entire air defense battalion has 132 twin air defense heavy machine guns, which is equivalent to 264 Makqin heavy machine guns.
Such a spectacular scene made Zhao Meiyan shake her heart when she saw it, and it also made the Jin army secretly observing on the other side of the Yellow River break out in a cold sweat!
It was three days after the cavalry regiment, artillery regiment, air defense battalion, and baggage battalion had completed crossing the river. Zhao Meiyan left an air defense company to cover the infantry regiment across the river, and ordered the cavalry regiment to speed up and occupy Shenmu and Yulin according to Bai Shujie's orders.
On March 5, 1936, Zhao Meiyan's independent division entered Yulin. In the evening of the same day, Liu Zhidan led a guard company to finally arrive here to shake hands with Zhao Meiyan, and the battle of the Western Expedition came to an end.
On March 8, 1936, two months earlier than in history, the Red Army in northern Shaanxi announced that it had retreated to the west of the Yellow River, and the Eastern Expedition was over.
On March 16, 1936, Zhou Weiren decided to negotiate a truce with the young marshal Xiaoliuzi.
In view of the fact that Bai Shujie was going to come over to "open a trade route", Yan'an had actually become an empty city without an army, nine months earlier than in history, the Red Army of Northern Shaanxi entered Yan'an, and Luochuan became a "free trade zone" for the Red Army of Northern Shaanxi and the Northeast Army.
On March 28, 1936, Zhao Meiyan received an order from the central government to report to Yan'an.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
