323. Fall into the trap of devils
Seeing that Zhong Guitang, Chang Bikuan, Zhao Qinglin, Xie Chongguang, Zhu Dagui, Xiao Lamei, and Wang Xinlan were all here, Bai Shujie said: "Zhong Guitang, you first tell me about last night's battle. ”
"Yesterday there were four battles, two people were killed and four were slightly wounded. A total of three squadrons and one squadron headquarters of the little devils have been annihilated, with a total of 187 people below the squadron leader. Zhong Guitang lowered his head and said: "The two people who died were all on the road, and they were the soldiers of the original 12th Regiment. I guess they are not familiar with the flying tiger catch, so they will fall off the cliff, and the soldiers of our detachment are fine. ”
"At the main position of Xifengkou and the supply station of Da Cuizhuang, I left a notice of the revenge team according to the request of the detachment leader. However, I think the little devil must know that we did it, and the others don't have the power to knock out the three fortresses of the little devil at the moment. The only thing the little devils couldn't understand was that their soldiers were not killed by swords and guns, but thrown under the city wall and fell to their deaths. ”
"We didn't take all the weapons and ammunition captured in the three fortresses. However, when we raided the supply depot in Dacuizhuang, there were 24 pack horses inside, so we chose to focus on taking some things with us as much as possible. Among them, there are two Type 92 heavy machine guns and 6 boxes of bullets; 12 light machine guns with crooked handles, 15 boxes of bullets; 9 mortars, 270 shells; 36 grenadiers, 300 grenades. All the grenades were brought, a total of 12 boxes. The other is to take away the field rations of the little devils. The Type 38 rifle and other things were all burned. ”
Bai Shujie took out a piece of paper and looked at it, this is the content he had just planned simply: "The current situation is a bit complicated, and I didn't expect that there would be such a big move when I entered the customs. Now that it's happened, we have to find a way to deal with it. So, I want to make some adjustments to the existing team. Its main purpose is to facilitate sudden battles and rapid transfers. ”
"Set up an advance battalion to go south, battalion commander Zhong Guitang, deputy battalion commanders Chang Bikuan and Zhao Qinglin. The advance battalion has two combat companies, the first company commander Xie Chongguang and the deputy company commander Yan Chongde; Second Company Commander Zhu Dagui and Deputy Company Commander Deng Feixiong. The combat company has three combat platoons, each of which has four combat squads. There are 17 people in each combat squad, 70 people in each combat platoon, plus 10 people in a cooking squad, and 222 people in a company. ”
"Each combat squad is equipped with 4 Czech light machine guns, 2 grenadiers, and 1 mortar; There were 10 people in the cooking squad and two machine guns with crooked handles. One company consisted of 50 light machine guns, 24 grenadiers, and 4 mortars. Each combat company is equipped with 2 pack horses, which usually follow the action of the cooking squad. ”
The remaining 138 people formed a guard company, with Xiao Lamei as the company commander and Wang Xinlan as the deputy company commander. The guard company has a guard combat platoon with a fixed strength of 70 people; a rearrangement with a fixed number of 59 people; Plus a cooking class for 9 people. ”
"The combat platoon of the guard company is equipped with 2 Type 92 infantry guns, 2 Type 92 twin anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, 3 mortars, and 12 Czech light machine guns. The baggage platoon was equipped with 20 pack horses and 9 Czech light machine guns. I just went to take a look, and we are seriously short of horse feed right now. Although some of it was brought out from Da Cui Zhuang, it didn't last long. ”
"Because when we came out, each company was equipped with mortars. So I decided to leave behind all the Type 92 heavy machine guns and bullets, mortars and shells that could not be taken away. After the meeting, they immediately reorganized, reported the list of all squad and platoon leaders, and then concealed the weapons and ammunition left behind. In the future, I will always be called the head of the detachment, and the title of commander-in-chief can only be used in the territory of Rehe. ”
The meeting was short, and the key was integration. Fortunately, the soldiers of the front army guard battalion are often scattered and reorganized according to the needs of the mission, and there is nothing difficult about it. Besides, Xiao Lamei, the commander of the guard battalion, has given way, and now he is temporarily acting as the commander of the guard company, and the others have nothing to talk about.
After the reorganization of the troops was completed, their respective tasks naturally became orderly. Xiao Lamei's guard company undertook the security work around the temporary headquarters, and the two companies of the advance battalion were responsible for reconnaissance and defense ten kilometers away. The first day passed so safely, and after a day of adjustment, the people and horses basically recovered their spirits.
Unexpectedly, there was no news of the little devils in the next two days, taking this opportunity, Bai Shujie and Xiao Lamei secretly checked the environment of the guards in Panjiayu Village in civilian clothes.
Although Xiao Lamei didn't know that Bai Shujie Weishenme was interested in a small village halfway up the mountain, she didn't ask anything along the way. always behaves the role of a "little daughter-in-law", and when she sees someone, the uncle and aunt are very affectionate.
However, the little devil didn't make the slightest movement for two days, and he didn't seem to care about the loss of Xifengkou Fortress at all, and this phenomenon had aroused Bai Shujie's vigilance.
On the night of the third day, Bai Shujie ordered the entire advance battalion to move and march to the southwest according to the set goal. Zhong Guitang and Wang Xinlan led a platoon of a company as the vanguard of the whole team, a company commander led the second platoon as the right wing, and a deputy company commander led the third platoon as the left wing, 500-1000 meters away from each other, and the finished glyph advanced.
Bai Shujie and Xiao Lamei led the guard platoon in the center, three kilometers away from the vanguard. Deputy battalion commanders Chang Bikuan and Zhao Qinglin led the second company, and the same finished glyph dragged one kilometer behind the palace.
According to the predetermined route, we must advance at full speed tonight, insert between Langfang and Tianjin, cross the Pingjin line tomorrow evening, and rush directly to Xiongxian in the northeast of Baiyangdian, and then contact Wei Chong. Therefore, this night needs to run at full speed for nearly four hundred miles!
However, the development of things far exceeded Bai Shujie's expectations, the troops advanced less than one hundred and twenty miles, that is, at more than eleven o'clock in the evening, Bai Shujie had just arrived at the front line of the Shaliu River, and he heard the sound of artillery in front, the explosion of 75mm field artillery! And the sound of artillery is in a line, that is, at least six guns are firing!
With this one movement, Bai Shujie suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! What are the cavalrymen most afraid of? The first is the cannon! The second is the machine gun!
If you run into a machine gun, you can retreat and get out of range of the machine gun. But the cannon has a long range, and you can't detect it at all. By the time you find out, you'll already be under fire! Even if you try to escape, it's enough to beat your cavalry to pieces before you get out of range of the cannons!
Bai Shujie pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly: "The guard platoon immediately assembled the infantry gun and the twin anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, and then checked them in two pack horses!" Lamei, inform the second company in the back to hurry up, the first company in front needs urgent reinforcements! ”
Is the little devil a stupid pig? Of course not! The little devil is even more insidious and vicious than the most cunning wolf! There was no movement for three days, and the little devil did not eat, but planned a huge conspiracy!
No matter how Bai Shujie divided his troops, close to six hundred people and more than six hundred horses, this was not a small movement. Especially at night, when a platoon of dozens of war horses ran at full speed, the ground felt shaken. Although Bai Shujie chose to go to a remote place as much as possible, this kind of formation is still relatively large.
In particular, Bai Shujie chose to stay in Sanjian Mountain for three days, which made a huge mistake! Although from his point of view, it is hoped that the war horse can return to its best condition, and then rush out in one go.
The idea is right, but one of the biggest problems is forgotten! No, he forgot a major person, this person is the hardcore traitor Yin Rugeng! If it weren't for him and the little devil exchanging songs, the "Tanggu Agreement" would not have been so easy to sign!
Last year, that is, in November 1933, after the "Tanggu Agreement" came into effect, according to the strong demand of the little devils, the southern government appointed Yin Rugeng, who regarded the little devils as his own father, as the inspector of the Ji (county) and Mi (Yun) district administrative offices of the Hebei-Hebei East African Military Region.
In fact, as early as September 1933, the Kuomintang government approved the division of eastern Hebei into two districts, and set up two administrative inspector commissioners' offices in Tongxian and Tangshan respectively, Jimi and Luanyu, with Yin Rugeng and Tao Shangming serving as commissioners respectively.
Tao Shangming didn't listen to the little devil's words, so he was rejected by the little devil and resigned, and the power in the eastern Hebei region was actually completely in the hands of Yin Rugeng alone.
Yin Rugeng was a desperate traitor who openly colluded with the Japanese invaders to make the Hebei East African Military Zone a shili area tightly controlled by the little devils. Especially at this time, Yin Rugeng was assisting the little devil to promote "North China Autonomy", and his spies were everywhere.
Bai Shujie left the banner of "revenge team" in Xifengkou Fortress, which is purely "there are no silver three hundred taels here"! Because he treats the environment around Tianjin as the surroundings of Rehe.
As everyone knows, the little devil has been running Pingjin for decades, and even the history of the "China Garrison Army" in Tianjin can be traced back to the date of the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty", that is, in 1901! Because of this, there are many traitors on the front line of Pingjin, and they are all traitors with great backgrounds!
As soon as the advance battalion entered the customs, it was already targeted by people with intentions. The whole process of destroying the little devil's Da Cui Zhuang supply depot has been recorded. Before Bai Shujie crossed the Luan River, the newly appointed Umezu Mijiro had already received detailed news. Therefore, although the pontoon bridge has been demolished, the little devil still knows the movements of Bai Shujie and others!
Especially Bai Shujie's self-made smart move with Xiao Lamei near Panjiayu Village, has long been seen by people with a heart. Especially the several old aunts who greeted Xiao Lamei with a smile, including the mother of a hardcore traitor, or his wife!
Many people think that traitors are isolated incidents, and that is wrong! Traitors are all inherited, and when a traitor appears, this family basically has the quality to be a traitor!
For three days, the little devil has not taken action because the old devil Umezu Mijiro has sent two telegrams. One of them was given to the command of the Kwantung Army to understand the operational laws of the "revenge squad". The other was sent to the Sixth Division of Guisui, asking them to quickly dispatch two cavalry brigades to the south, and ordered them to rush to Tianjin in three days!
At the same time, the 75mm field artillery brigade of Tada's artillery wing was already in a state of readiness! As soon as Bai Shujie's men got off the mountain, Umezu Mijiro received a telegram, and the movement of troops began simultaneously!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
