420. Form an independent battalion

Chen Jie drove more than 1,000 people from Yukihiro Hirata out for more than ten kilometers, and when he returned to Daheigangzi Town, he learned that the so-called thousands of reinforcements were actually villagers from three villages in the area of Wang's shack before, and the leader was the big man who was nearly 1.8 meters tall.

"Back to the chief's words: After you left just now, I learned that you were Commander-in-Chief Bai's team!" The big man put down the crooked handle in his hand and said: "My name is Weng Shiming, and I turned out to be the deputy company commander of the artillery company of Wang Tie's 620th Regiment of Wang Yizhe's Seventh Brigade. At the time of the '918 Incident', I fought the little devils with your people. ”

"Oh, by the way, I remember that the leader was called Captain Du Guangyuan, and it was he who led the cavalry to rescue us. Speaking of which, I am unlucky, after rushing out of the Beida camp, I can't find our regiment commander Wang Tie and them. Later, the brothers said that the Youyan anti-Japanese detachment was benevolent and righteous, and it was a team that could be relied on. ”

"The company commander and I also felt that it was not interesting to follow a team that did not resist the enemy, so we took two platoons of brothers everywhere to look for you. Unexpectedly, I encountered a group of little devils in a scuffle, and the company commander died in order to cover the retreat of the brothers, and I was also shot in the left leg. When I finally ran out, I found that the mortars were all lost. ”

"Two days later, I came to Wang's shack, but my wound was inflamed, and I couldn't do it anymore. My brothers carried me to the tunzi, but fortunately my godfather knew how to use herbal medicine, which saved my life. For the next year or so, you fought with the little devils in the Montenegrin area, but unfortunately my legs were not completely well, because I was afraid of dragging my legs, so I didn't look for you. ”

"In the past two years, I have slowly gathered more than 400 brothers, all of whom want to seek revenge on the little devils. However, the little devil came here every once in a while to search, and all the guns and ammunition were taken away. Half a month ago, those two North Korean devils who were not as good as the beasts lived in our Wang family's shack, and the villagers were unlucky. ”

"My godfather and godmother looked for those brutes to theorize, and they were all killed! If it weren't for the stubborn pressure of a few village elders, we would have fought with those brutes a long time ago. But the village elder said it well: those brutes are fighting with Commander-in-Chief Bai, and Zuihou will definitely lose the battle. When the time comes, we'll fall into the well and destroy them all! ”

"Today you have finally killed, and we have hope of survival. None of you cleaned the battlefield before, but I knew that you must be small in number, and you have other more important tasks. Later, I saw the commander leading two platoons of brothers to attack the second brigade of little devils, and to be honest, I really sweated for you. ”

"It's a good thing you didn't clean the battlefield carefully, so I was able to collect these weapons and ammunition and then call the villagers over to help. I know that the villagers can't fight, but in the middle of the night, there are many people who can make a strong noise, plus there are dozens of us who still have something to do in their hands, I believe that the little devil can't figure out the details at once. ”

"This is all in the past, today I am returning with my brothers, please take us in! Although the chief can rest assured, in the past four years, no less than 2,000 people have come and gone, and I have not left a single person who dares not send them to death half-heartedly. There are a total of 491 people left, who can die at any time, and they will definitely not disgrace Commander-in-Chief Bai! Sir, take us! ”

Chen Jie listened to Weng Shiming's statement, and he actually felt uncomfortable. What are these brothers trying to do? In fact, they are all the same people as themselves, but there is a breath in their hearts that has not been vented, and they must ask the little devil for an explanation, it's as simple as that!

"Someone, power generation: Detachment leader, our department passed through the front line of Daheigangzi and Wang's shack, and the two brigades of the second brigade of the Hirata Yukihiro department and the Kim Yingshan department encountered each other, and after an hour of melee, the enemy has now been completely defeated. At present, the company is continuing to implement the established plan and ensure the completion of the task! ”

"In addition, please ask the defenders of the first division to send a company to the front line of Montenegro as soon as possible to pick up a group of civilians. In order to help us, it is no longer possible for them to live in the area of Daheigangzi, so it is best to move to Fuxin. At the same time, a group of more than 400 people who dared to die from the former Northeast Army joined our contingent. Hereby report, Chen Jie. ”

After the telegram was sent, Chen Jie suddenly thought that the people here would move out, and what was the "maintenance association" that was still left to do things for the little devils, so he immediately ordered: "Ma Chongde, take you and destroy the three maintenance associations nearby to Lao Tzu, and all the property will be confiscated!" ”

"The second company gathered the villagers who were willing to transfer, and then immediately cleaned up the battlefield and concentrated all useful supplies. When these fellows arrive in a new place, they need more things, so try not to cause losses to the fellows! It turned out that a platoon of brothers buried their fallen comrades, and at the same time inspected more than two dozen cars to see what was on them. Anything that has nothing to do with us will be removed, and the car will be of great use. ”

It was already more than four o'clock in the morning, and Ma Chongde thought of the maintenance president's house in Lengzi Fort before, and found that there were more than a dozen black-clothed thugs, all of whom were shell guns with twenty rounds, and even had a crooked handle. At that time, it was just to hide the identities of these people, so they didn't move, and now that they want to destroy the maintenance association, there is no need for them to stay.

After a few quick turns in his head, Ma Chongde immediately ordered three platoons to raid the maintenance meetings in the areas of Lengzibao, Daheigangzi, and Wang's shack.

Half an hour later, Bai Shujie's order arrived: "A cavalry company of the receiving unit has set off, and you have specially approved the establishment of an independent battalion to incorporate the Northeast Army brothers, and then the whole army will go north to complete the established combat plan as soon as possible." ”

At about half past six, Chen Jie was figuring out how to form this independent battalion and how to play their role, and Ma Chongde's three companies had all returned. Good guys, got a total of 7 trailers full.

"Report: A total of three maintenance committees were destroyed, 9 maintenance chairmen and vice presidents were executed, and 17 biedong members with blood debts were executed. 1 crooked machine gun, 41 20-round shell guns, 19 Liao 13 rifles, 3 boxes of pistol bullets, 2 boxes of rifle bullets, and 1 box of machine gun bullets were seized. Of course, the main thing is some messy property, which I didn't have time to count, and it was all in the car. ”

"The crooked handles, barge guns and bullets were left, and the Liao 13 rifles and bullets were loaded into the car." Chen Jie said to Weng Shiming at this time: "The commander-in-chief has called and ordered your group of people to form an independent battalion. I'll give you half an hour to form the team immediately. ”

"Three companies plus a reconnaissance platoon, and then report to me the list of officers above the squad leader. To tell you the truth, I am Chen Jie, the deputy commander of the Commander-in-Chief's Guards Division, and I will immediately carry out the order! ”

This busy meal is an hour and a half in the blink of an eye. The first to complete the task was Weng Shiming, and the establishment of the independent battalion of the task force finally came out:

Independent Battalion (491 people): Battalion Commander Weng Shiming, Deputy Battalion Commanders Zhang Minghan and Gao Jingxiang Reconnaissance Platoon 64 people, Platoon Commander Lin Tiande, Deputy Platoon Commander Lu Guangyao Machine Gun Company 147 people, Company Commander Liang Qingyun, Deputy Company Commander Liao Pingsheng, three platoons are 49 people.

The artillery company has 125 people, the company commander Pan Xiongfei, the deputy company commander Yang Xiaoyu, and the three platoons are all 41 people.

The cavalry company has 152 people (there are no war horses for the time being), the company commander Gong Haichuan, and the deputy company commander Guo Zhenhao, under the jurisdiction of three cavalry platoons of 50 people.

As soon as Chen Jie looked at the compilation table, he knew that Weng Shiming was generally compiled according to the jishu posts of the brothers' original troops, so the number of people in different companies was different. Without Jishu's specialty, it is estimated that it is the so-called reconnaissance platoon fighters.

After a comprehensive search of the two barracks of Wang's shack and Daheigangzi, Zuihou found that the little devil had taken away all the light weapons. Heavy weapons may not be carried in time, or they may be too heavy to affect the speed of escape, so they are left in place.

For example, the crooked light machine gun, fortunately, the speed of the previous second company chasing the North Korean two devils was fast enough, killing more than 300 people, and it can be regarded as picking up 31 guns. This should be a group of machine gunners specially dispatched out of the back of the hall when the two devils fled.

There are only 119 Type 38 rifles in total, of which 23 were trampled by war horses. However, 8 Type 92 heavy machine guns from a machine gun squadron of the little devil, 3 infantry guns and 3 75mm mountain guns from the artillery squadron were all left; The second devil was even more straightforward, 7 heavy machine guns, 3 infantry guns, and 3 75mm mountain guns did not move.

As for the cars, which were full of gasoline, unconsumed machine rifle bullets and shells, and the other was the gold and silver that had been looted.

Chen Jie knew that he had taken a heavy machine gun with him before, which meant that there was only one machine gun squadron in the two second devil brigades. Now the equipment that can be used to arm the independent battalion is these captured things, but fortunately, the variety is relatively complete, and it can barely deal with it.

After looking at the trophies with Weng Shiming, and then having a preliminary discussion, Chen Jie ordered all the independent battalions to change into the military uniforms of little devils, and decided to divide the twenty-six cars into two, and at the same time adjusted a few crooked handles to formally organize the independent battalion:

Machine gun company 16 cars, each with 1 Type 92 heavy machine gun, then gasoline and all heavy machine gun ammunition; In addition, it is equipped with two light machine gun squads, 12 crooked light machine guns, and 12 Type 38 rifles as defensive liliang.

The artillery company, 10 vehicles, armed with 3 infantry guns and 3 75mm mountain guns, took away all the shells. In addition, it is equipped with a machine gun squad, 6 crooked machine guns, and 6 Type 38 rifles as guards.

As for the cavalry company, since it had no war horses, it was temporarily turned into infantry, with 18 light machine guns, 6 mortars, 41 Type 38 rifles, and 32 20-round shell guns.

The reconnaissance platoon consulted 62 people, temporarily equipped with 6 crooked light machine guns and 54 Type 38 rifles, and the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander hung up the two command knives and Wang Ba boxes that they had picked up. Because their first task was to send more than 2,000 fellow villagers to Montenegro and hand them over to the cavalry company that responded.

Because the reconnaissance platoon had to move towards Zhangwu after escorting the villagers, in order to increase the speed of action, it did not carry ammunition boxes, but each fighter carried 180 rounds of ammunition. Anyway, the little devil's crooked handle machine gun and Type 38 rifle both use the same bullets, and they are both five-round bridge loads.

The carts, mules, and horses left behind by the little devils were all loaded with the things of the villagers and taken away. All kinds of quilts and canned food in the little devil's inventory, except for Chen Jie's share of the task force for one day, the rest were naturally brought back and handed in.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
