155, roadblock robbery (third shift)
Bai Shujie finally got the first battle report, knowing that Zhang Haipeng was completely annihilated, especially that Zhang Haipeng, a dog traitor, was killed on the spot, and he felt unprecedented in his heart.
In less than half an hour, Qiu Shufen immediately sent a second telegram: "Two armored trains of our first ironclad battalion have arrived at the front line of Wolong Town. On the way, they were attacked by enemy planes, and one of them was shot down and one was damaged. Our unit lost 6 fighters and 2 heavy machine guns. He is currently resting on the Hiraizumi Blocking Line. Ma Deyao, Shao Jianzhang. ”
After reading the telegram, Bai Shujie raised his head and asked, "Qiu Shufen, what do you think of this telegram?" ”
Qiu Shufen said with tears in her eyes: "Ma Deyao and Shao Jianzhang can be said to have fought bloodily all the way to break through the encirclement. Zuihou was able to reach Wolong Town safely, completely relying on them to stand out desperately! ”
"Send a telegram: All the commanders and fighters of the Ironclad Air Defense Brigade: You are not afraid of sacrifice, you fought bloodily, and achieved the glorious record of shooting down one enemy plane and wounding another, and finally successfully completed the strategic transfer task. On behalf of the commanders and fighters of the whole detachment, I salute you! In the face of the encirclement and interception of the little devils, the heroic spirit you showed in the face of death is an example for the soldiers of the whole country! Hereby commended! Youyan Anti-Japanese Detachment, Bai Shujie. ”
waited until half past three in the afternoon, and Bai Shujie finally waited for the telegram he wanted to see the most:
"After fierce fighting all night, 4,387 people from the four brigades under Hideo Inoue of the 13th Wing were annihilated, and 339 people below the captain of Hideyoshi Tanaka were captured. A flag of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army, 12 artillery pieces, 16 heavy machine guns, 72 light machine guns, and 2,461 complete 38 rifles were captured. Other supplies are being cleared. Ji Changnian, Shi Liancheng, Du Guangyuan. ”
"Send a telegram: After a day and night of hard fighting, our department captured Chifeng in the early morning of February 27, 1933! In this battle, a total of 4,387 people under Captain Hideo Inoue of the 13th Wing of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army were annihilated, 339 people under Hideyoshi Tanaka, the leader of the squadron, were captured, and a flag of the 13th Wing was captured. For the sake of the territorial integrity of the motherland and the independence and freedom of the nation, 1,589 warriors of our department shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for the country! Captain of the Youyan Anti-Japanese Detachment: Bai Shujie. ”
At midnight that day, Hou Zide sent a telegram: "According to reconnaissance, the Japanese army let Chifeng turn to Fuxin, and approached the plain west of Lingyuan through Chaoyang. ”
"Send a telegram to the participating troops, let them gather their troops and station close to Chifeng, and then divide the garrison location after resting and replenishing. Order the chief responsible persons of all units to rush to the headquarters for a meeting immediately after settling down the troops! ”
On March 2, 1933, Bai Shujie held a campaign summary meeting at the Chifeng Headquarters.
Manmeng. Present at the meeting were Gadamerin of the Independent Brigade, Hou Zide, Ding Jiashu, and Ning Rongxuan of the Second Brigade, Du Guangyuan, Feng Kaiyu, and Cao Zhijian of the Third Brigade, and Liu Yanmei, Shi Liancheng, and Cui San'er of the Garrison Brigade.
"Brothers, according to the data aggregated by the participating units, the results of our campaign this time are enormous. He successively annihilated more than 4,000 traitors from Cui Xingwu's department, more than 3,000 from Li Shoushan and Cheng Guorui's department, and more than 4,500 from Zhang Haipeng's department. Annihilated 4,387 men of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army and disabled the 23rd Wing. ”
Bai Shujie said bitterly: "During the ten days of hard fighting, we sacrificed 772 warriors, seriously injured 489 people, and lightly injured 1,746 people. Specifically, we had four brigades in the battle, losing half of them. This lost part can be said to be our elite troops, and all the glory should belong to them! ”
"Yesterday I ordered the base area to send 1,200 additional troops to the troops participating in the battle, and we should be able to get here in three days. At present, the enemy situation on the front line of Pingquan is serious, Lingyuan has been occupied by the Japanese army, and the first brigade and the ironclad air defense brigade have come into contact with the enemy. Therefore, I need to go south to carry out the command. ”
"Chifeng is our north gate, and we must not afford to lose. Therefore, the detachment decided to form the Chifeng Command, under the jurisdiction of the Second Brigade, the Third Brigade and the Manchurian and Mongolian. Separate Brigade. Hou Zide was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and Gadamerin and Du Guangyuan were appointed as deputy commanders-in-chief, and unified command of the defense of the Chifeng front line and the work carried out in the campaign. ”
Because he had to go south to command the battle on the front line of the Great Wall, Bai Shujie could only hand over the defense task of the front line of Chifeng to Hou Zide and others. In order to let them know in their hearts, they were informed of the enemy in front of them:
"I need to remind you that the enemy in the direction of Chifeng is the Japanese Army's 4th Independent Cavalry Brigade, and the brigade commander is Kennosuke Motegi. Li Shouxin's department, which had just defected to the enemy not long ago, is currently being reorganized. There are also bandit armies such as Liu Guitang's department in Chahar. The enemy's strength is more than 30,000 in total, and you should not take it lightly. ”
"It has been verified that the power plant in Chifeng belongs to the industry of little devils, and there are hundreds of little devils there. This is a factor of instability. Our detachment has declared war on the little devils, and all the assets of the little devils should be confiscated. You must do a good job in the power plant to ensure the normal operation of Chifeng. From today onwards, it's up to everyone! ”
In the early morning of March 3, 1933, Bai Shujie led the telecommunications office and the guard company to set off, and the garrison team then escorted 339 Japanese prisoners including Tanaka Hideyoshi and 957 prisoners of Zhang Haipeng's Independent Cavalry Regiment to follow up. After a difficult climb over the mountains, they stepped into their base for the first time at midnight.
Gan Tong led the main leaders of the base area to greet him fifty miles away, and then the stars held the moon and took Bai Shujie back to the headquarters. In order to facilitate Bai Shujie's command of the campaign in the southwest, Gan Tong set up his headquarters in Bawang Cave, and the field hospital in the base area was one kilometer away from each other in the north.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon of March 4, 1933, Bai Shujie, who had just stabilized the work of the headquarters, received a telegram from Lan Caiqin of the Fourth Brigade!
It turned out that Lan Caiqin received an order from Bai Shujie on February 15, 1933, and immediately led the machine gun battalion to hide 10 kilometers northwest of Chengde, and she did not know what her specific task was at that time.
At midnight on February 20, Lan Caiqin received a telegram from Bai Shujie, asking her to send capable personnel to closely monitor Tang Yulin's movements. Once Tang Yulin escaped, he intercepted all the baggage vehicles.
It was only at this time that Lan Caiqin knew that her combat mission was to be a bandit, and then rob Tang Yulin, the chairman of Rehe Province! Uh, it should be called the battlefield gendarmerie, carry out battlefield pickets!
With a bottom in her heart, Lan Caiqin handed over the troops to Yao Jianming, the commander of the machine gun battalion, and she and Huang Qiaoyun, the commander of the guard company, took a platoon of female soldiers and a radio station to rent a courtyard opposite the Rehe Provincial Government to live, and watched Tang Yulin go in and out every day.
Because of Tang Weiye's special pass, Lan Caiqin's activities did not arouse the suspicion of others. When the soldiers on guard saw the special pass that Lan Caiqin took out, they didn't even dare to let out a fart, and asked what to say, for fear of offending someone who shouldn't be offended.
After five consecutive days of inquiry, he has basically grasped the accurate news that Tang Yulin is preparing to transfer materials. It has been learned that the total number of vehicles is around three hundred, and the guard regiment is responsible for escorting them.
On February 28, Tang Yulin rushed back from the front line, and then urgently ordered the large trucks to be loaded immediately, and the guard regiment entered a state of combat readiness. The provincial mansion and Tang Yulin's private residence are all forbidden to outsiders to enter and exit, and Lan Caiqin knows that it has reached the juncture of Zuihou, and Tang Yulin is ready to escape.
On March 2, a total of 329 large trucks were already piled with various supplies, and the strength of the guards was close to a regiment. This unit of more than 1,000 people turned out to be armed with 24 heavy machine guns, 248 light machine guns, 36 mortars, and 12 105mm field guns! All the soldiers, all of them are flower machine guns!
Lan Caiqin immediately issued an order to Yao Jianming, the commander of the machine gun battalion, to prepare for battle, and asked them to set up an ambush on both sides of the Nangou road. The 6 vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, 48 light machine guns, and 9 mortars of the machine gun battalion must be lined up along both sides of the road, creating a huge formation!
At the same time, all the troops of the guard company were ordered to immediately enter the city in concealment, under the unified command of Huang Qiaoyun. As soon as Tang Yulin left, he immediately took over the government building, took control of various departments in Chengde City, and prevented the people from leaking the news of Tang Yulin's escape, which would cause chaos in the city.
On March 4, Lingyuan was occupied by the Japanese army. Tang Yulin and his entourage hurriedly got into four black cars and went straight to Chengde West Gate. 329 large trucks followed, and a convoy of more than 1,000 people set off at the same time. The length of the entire convoy, almost two kilometers!
Lan Caiqin took the lead in running out of the west gate and hurried back to the ambush site of the troops. Let Yao Jianming quickly order the troops on both sides of the road to widen the distance to ensure that they can control two kilometers.
Yao Jianming had just adjusted the ambush positions of each combat squad when the first big truck carrying a squad appeared in sight. It didn't take long for four black sedans to arrive.
Lan Caiqin held Yao Jianming and shook her head, she knew that the goal of the detachment leader was definitely not to arrest people, and besides, he was the provincial chairman, do you dare to arrest him? The goal of the detachment leader must have been the convoy behind, as well as the various supplies loaded. Therefore, he let the four cars go, and then immediately ordered Yao Jianming to arrange a vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun in the middle of the road to block the way.
After waiting for another half an hour, the four cars had already disappeared, and the first truck finally appeared behind, followed by a long line of cars! It wasn't until all the guards entered the ambush that Lan Caiqin pulled out her pistol and fired a shot into the sky.
In an instant, the soldiers on both sides of the highway took off their camouflage and rushed out, and the heavy machine guns on board also rushed to the vicinity of the highway!
As mentioned above, the Fourth Brigade of the Youyan Anti-Japanese Detachment is the descendant of Bai Shujie and Gan Tong. Whether it is weapons and equipment, the quality of personnel, or the density of firepower as a whole, it ranks first in the entire detachment! The battalion commander and deputy battalion commander of the machine gun battalion are all fierce generals brought out by Bai Shujie himself.
Just these bastard boys, not to mention the provincial chairman, that is, the king of heaven Lao Tzu is here, and the detachment leader says that he wants to fight, then he will definitely fire without hesitation!
Tang Yulin, a guard regiment armed to the teeth, although it was equipped with more than Yao Jianming's machine gun battalion, their heavy machine guns were still on their shoulders. Because it is still in the territory of Rehe, this is Tang Yulin's territory, just like his own home. Therefore, the guard regiment did not expect any accidents to happen at all, and did not have any mental preparation for emergencies at all.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
