397. Fierce battle in Jinghai County

Wei Chong, the first one is Li Siliang, who is afraid of "getting in the way" when the time comes: "I heard the detachment commander say that Political Commissar Li's organization is the best at mobilizing the people. After the 129th Division of the Northeast Army was transferred to northern Shaanxi to fight the Red Army, there was no army stationed in Cangzhou at present. Therefore, please ask Political Commissar Li to lead a battalion to raid the county seat of Cangzhou in the early morning of the day after tomorrow. ”

"The mission this time is not to exacerbate the contradictions, so the main purpose is not to kill many enemies, but to drive out those officials of the southern government. Then, relying on Raoyang, Anping, Hejian, Renqiu and Xiongxian, Cangzhou will also become our peripheral base area. ”

Because of the existence of class hatred, Li Siliang's organization had a special interest in opposing Chiang's traitorous government. Especially Wei Chong learned from Bai Shujie that he had a bad stomach, and first emphasized: "The 129th Division of the Northeast Army has been transferred to northern Shaanxi to fight the Red Army!" Under the new hatred and old hatred, it is unlikely that Li Siliang will shirk it.

Sure enough, before Wei Chongdi's words fell, Li Siliang said in a deep voice: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" ”

"Feng Dingyun, you and the acting regiment commander Wang Sanju will return to Xiongxian overnight, and tomorrow night lead the first and second battalions to arrive at Dujiazui Village, 15 kilometers north of Jinghai County, and then let the first battalion deploy troops to the east to form a defensive position on the line of Dujiazui-Zhangjiacun-Liangwangzhuang, blocking possible reinforcements from the direction of Tianjin in the north of the Haihe River. The second battalion was retained as a general reserve, ready to reinforce in other directions. ”

"This time the defensive operation is under your personal command. For specific combat deployments, you should listen to the opinions of Wang Sanju, the acting head of the regiment. This place is all tidal flats, with a dense water network, which is not suitable for the deployment of large troops, let alone the movement of cavalry groups. So you must build fortifications in advance, and two battalions of heavy machine guns and mortars can be used intensively. ”

"Yu Xuezhi, your guard battalion turned out to be a scout, so after tonight's meeting, you will immediately rush to Hejian County to rest until seven o'clock tomorrow night. Then it set off at the same time as Cao Renhou's third battalion and went straight to the line of Xiaowangzhuang, 15 kilometers southeast of Daegu Village, which was northeast. ”

Then the troops divided into two routes, and the guard battalion continued to penetrate northeast and attack Dagukou. Exactly how to launch the raid is your own business, don't ask me. Cao Renhou's third battalion immediately advanced to the north in concealment, and then one company lurked near Chenguanzhuang, and the other two companies lurked near Daeguzhuang. At one o'clock in the morning, two companies split up to attack the enemy in front of them, and the other company crossed the line of fire and went straight to the county town of Jinghae, 20 kilometers north of Daeguzhuang. ”

"After today's meeting, Zhang Erleng's first battalion and Zou Baoyin's second battalion will start overnight and rush to Renqiu County before noon tomorrow. At eight o'clock in the evening, all the people set out and arrived near Xigaozhuang in concealment. At one o'clock in the morning, the first battalion attacked Xigaozhuang, and the second battalion went straight to Jinghai County. ”

"Brothers, our face-to-face enemy is only about 200 people in one squadron, and more than 2,000 people in three battalions are attacking at the same time, just hoping that you will fight quickly and retreat quickly! In the course of the battle, it is not necessary to wait until the little devils in the three regions are eliminated before attacking the county seat. ”

"The frontal attack troops should use the fastest action to surround the little devils in the three places, and the other troops should directly attack the county seat according to the predetermined plan. Of course, we all have our own principles for what we should do after occupying Jinghai County, and I hope you will not disappoint the hopes of the detachment commander and the entire Rehe Front! Meeting! ”

After the military meeting, Wei Chong led a telecommunications team and a guard platoon, and Zhang Erleng and Zou Baoyin and their two battalions set off overnight to rush to Renqiu, which was the closest place to Jinghai.

However, Wei Chong did not stay in Renqiu for long. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, he led the radio station and the guard platoon, a total of more than 70 war horses, to set off first, bypassing the little devil's stronghold in Xigao Village, and at about 7 o'clock in the evening to Zhujia Village, 10 kilometers west of Jinghai, where his temporary headquarters was built.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Wang Sanju and Feng Dingyun led the two battalions of the Xiongxian Independent Regiment to rush here, leaving the second battalion as the general reserve to be handed over to Wei Chong, and then led the battalion of the Xiongxian Independent Regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness to build a blocking position around the line of Fujunmiao, which was inserted 15 kilometers northeast of Jinghai County.

Wei Chong did not come to the top place for no reason, but because there was a cavalry squadron of little devils stationed on the front line of Zhao Nanzhuang in the west of Tianjin. Although it is not known what the squadron will do after receiving the news of Jinghai's attack, it has to be guarded against. It would be a huge trouble to let this little devil cavalry storm the blocking position.

Each battalion of the Xiongxian Independent Regiment has a cavalry company, plus its own guard platoon, a total of nearly three hundred cavalry, which can completely defeat the cavalry squadron of a little devil head-on. This is the fundamental purpose of Wei Chong's risk.

For the devil team that took down the three directions of Jinghai County, he didn't take it seriously at all. How to mobilize Tadajun, an old devil, is the problem he considers.

According to his idea, there is no need to make a small fight in Jinghai County, it is better to concentrate the large troops and directly attack the barracks of the Little Devil Concession. It's a pity that Bai Shujie's order didn't mention the Tianjin issue at all, and Wei Chong didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

This is naturally a worry for Bai Shujie, and he once explained it to Zhao Jinxi. This kind of worry is that if the little devil is completely angered and launches the "77 Incident" two years in advance, it will be terrible! Because the Rehe Front Army could not replace the role of the Eighth Route Army in those years, it was impossible to control the entire battlefield behind enemy lines in North China and Shandong.

At present, Wang Kaixiang, commander of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the First Army of the Central Red Army, and Yang Chengwu, the political commissar of the Central Red Army, have not yet crossed the Jiajin Mountain, and as for rushing to northern Shaanxi to establish a base area, it will take another year! If it weren't for the Eighth Route Army's eastward march out of Shanxi and Hebei to contain a large number of garrisons of little devils behind enemy lines, it would still be a big question mark whether the southern government could hold Chongqing!

Bai Shujie didn't want to cause the entire Chinese nation to fall into a place of no return, so even if he was facing a life-and-death situation, he did not dare to occupy the line of Tianjin and Qinhuangdao.

After all, the little devil's navy is too powerful, and Bai Shujie has no way to deal with it for the time being. Even if Tianjin and Qinhuangdao are taken, they can't hold it, but they force the little devil dog to jump over the wall in a hurry, and the gains outweigh the losses.

No one knows about these concerns in Bai Shujie's heart, and Wei Chong is naturally even more confused. The only feeling he had was that his detachment leader's order this time seemed to lack the courage to break the cauldron when he was in Wohu Mountain, Fuxin, and Chifeng, and he did not have the desperate spirit of smashing Huanglong and striking a decisive blow.

Wei Chong didn't understand the key, so he didn't say much at the military meeting. This kind of strategic issue is not something that he should consider too much at this level. If you can solve the tactical problem at hand, then everything will be fine.

At one o'clock in the morning, the explosion of mortars was faintly heard in the southwest of Zhujia Village, and Wei Chong knew that the battle had started on time. Not long after, Zhang Erleng rushed to Zhujia Village with a cavalry platoon of guards.

"Report to the commander-in-chief: A squad in Xigao Village has been surrounded by two platoons, and Zou Baoyin pulled out a company that blocked the passage from Chen Guantun to the south gate of Jinghai County in Shuangtang Town. My large army is rushing to the north gate of the county seat, Zou Baoyin's large army is rushing to the west gate, and Cao Renhou's three battalions and two companies are also rushing to the east gate of the county seat. ”

"Excellent! Now that Jinghai County has been surrounded on all sides, the tactical goal has been achieved. Wei Chong nodded: "You now hurry back to the front line, complete the full occupation of the county seat as soon as possible, and then organize Liliang to carry out a city-wide purge, and all kinds of strategic materials and economic materials must be transported away." Apart from the members of the expedition and the women and children, I was in no mood to see any other bullshit captives! ”

At three o'clock in the morning, Wei Chong received the first telegram, which was sent by Cao Renhou of the third battalion, and the devils of a squad in Daeguzhuang were completely annihilated. A very special meaning is revealed between the lines: "Commander-in-chief, after two hours of fierce fighting, our company completely annihilated 43 little devils in Daegu Village. This is the first time in four years that we have fought head-on with the little devils, thank you to Commander-in-Chief Bai for giving us the opportunity to wash away our shame, long live the Rehe Front! Cao Renhou. ”

Wei Chong didn't say anything after reading the telegram, because he knew that Cao Renhou's so-called first company was the original team brought over from the 129th Division of the Northeast Army last year. For this battle, he gathered these people from three battalions to serve as a frontal attack on the little devils, in order to completely wash away the shame of the "runaway army"!

At this moment, the telegraph operator ran over: "Report: A call came from the direction of Fujunmiao, and the devils of the two infantry squadrons crossed the Haihe tidal flat and were attacking the positions of Lujiacun and Liangwangzhuang. ”

Wei Chong nodded: "Is there any news from the guard platoon?" ”

"Not yet!" The operator said in a low voice: "Commander-in-chief, will the little devils on the front line of Zhao Nanzhuang also come out?" ”

Wei Chong shook his head: "It's not a problem that he can't come out, it's a question of whether this old bastard Tada Jun will come out!" ”

It didn't take long for Chen Guantun and Xigaozhuang to come with good news, and all the devils of the two teams were wiped out. The county town of Jinghai has fallen into the hands of the Independent Regiment, and a city-wide manhunt is currently underway.

"Order: The cavalry company of the second battalion of the Xiongxian Independent Regiment set off immediately, rushed to Fengyi Village in the north to join the guard platoon, and immediately crossed the Haihe River to attack the enemy in Xinkou!"

After the cavalry company set off, Wei Chong felt that it was not enough insurance, so he said to the telegrapher: "Send a telegram to Battalion Commander Zhang, and ask him to draw out a company to dispatch urgently, and immediately rush to the front line of Zhao Nanzhuang to respond." If you find a large number of devils coming out of the direction of Tiaohuzhuang, you should quickly leave the battle and move. ”

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was light, and the guard battalion finally sent a telegram: "We did not encounter any resistance, and at about 3 o'clock in the morning, we crossed the defense area of the 217th Regiment of Wang Kunshan of the 37th Division of the Northwest Army, surrounded a squadron of little devils at the Salt Tax Bureau, and successfully occupied Tanggu.

After half an hour of shelling, the confidence of the little devils to fight on the spot was completely shattered, and Zuihou all fled. Eleven members of the delegation were captured, and they have now crossed the Haihe River to Xingjia Village, less than five kilometers away from Xiaowangzhuang. Yu Xuezhi. ”

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