At midnight, a small Japanese army arrived in the woods outside Lizhuang.
These Japanese soldiers are all uniformly dressed in standard military uniforms. Although there are not many troops, everyone has a war horse.
These Japanese soldiers looked elite at first glance. After they arrived at the ground, they did not rush to launch an attack. Instead, they carefully observed the terrain around the village. At the same time, they sent people to conduct reconnaissance to find out the strength of the troops stationed in Zhuangzi.
Soon the Japanese army figured out the situation in Lizhuang. This was a typical northern village. Most of the houses faced north and south.
Judging from the number of houses, there are at least more than 100 households in the village. Based on an average of three people per household, the Japanese commander initially determined that there were at least 300 people living in Zhuangzi.
¡°And there are two entrances to and from the village, and the other entrances are blocked.
??Obviously this is not what the common people want, it should be what the garrison commander wants!
The two openings before and after Zhuangzi were guarded by Chinese troops, but there were only two soldiers in each opening.
So far, no secret sentry has been found, and no patrol has been found!
After finding out the situation in the village, the Japanese army launched an attack!
Although the national army arranged soldiers to stand guard at the entrance of the village, because there was no preparation, no one expected that the Japs would send out small troops to launch an attack late at night, so the Japs easily wiped out the sentries.
After solving the sentry at the entrance of the village, a Japanese infantry squadron quickly entered the village and then went straight to the command post of the national army
When the news reached the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, it was already the morning of the next day. At this time, Li Guoyao was holding a military and political meeting in Washan. All the military and political officers above the captain of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps attended the military meeting.
There was laughter in the temporary conference room in Wawashan. Since the end of the last anti-mopping campaign, Li Guoyao ordered each brigade to return to their original places to concentrate on development.
After more than half a month of development, the troops had recovered from the losses caused by the battle. In addition, most of the people had not seen each other for more than half a month. Everyone couldn't help but look happy when they met, and some even couldn't bear it. Don¡¯t stop showing off to others what you have gained during this time.
Li Guoyao, Xu Hu and others walked into the conference room hand in hand. They saw the column commanders and captains talking and laughing, and they couldn't help but feel good.
After the guests and hosts sat down, Li Guoyao said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. Everyone is busy with their own work during this period. Let's take this opportunity to talk about our respective work situations during this period. Let's start with one, The rest can follow in turn.¡±
Zhang Tengjiao did not show any pretense and stood up directly and said: "According to the commander's instructions, the main task of our department during this period is to restore combat effectiveness and at the same time assist Deputy Commander Xu in establishing the grassroots political power within the jurisdiction of our department."
"After more than half a month of hard work, most of the soldiers of the three main brigades of our department have recovered, and the current shortage is less than a thousand people. In addition, our department also took the initiative during this period and has basically controlled Shanting, Tengxian, and Most of the villages in the three counties of Weishan even have more than ten maintenance presidents taking orders from us and becoming our spies."
"How many men and guns do you have in your unit now?"
"Our three infantry brigades, one cavalry squadron, one artillery squadron, and one guard squadron, have a total of 4,732 soldiers, equipped with 3,422 rifles, 72 light and heavy machine guns, 16 artillery pieces, and 320 horses." Zhang Tengjiao replied.
As soon as Zhang Tengjiao finished speaking, there was a gasp in the conference room!
You must know that just half a month ago, the total number of soldiers in the First Column was only more than 2,700. Unexpectedly, in just over half a month, the number of soldiers in the First Column was restored.
Although everyone knows that this is only a recovery in numbers and does not mean a recovery in combat effectiveness, such results are still eye-catching.
"How is the situation here at the Second Column?" Li Guoyao asked again.
Xie Baojun immediately stood up and said: "Report to the commander, our department was severely damaged, especially the fourth brigade was almost completely wiped out, so in terms of the number of soldiers, it has just recovered to more than 3,600 people. However, our department has completed the Infiltration of the Yixian mining area. More than a hundred capable soldiers have been ordered to infiltrate various Japanese and puppet enterprises in the mining area. When the time is right, our department will launch a general attack on the mining area and seize these Japanese and puppet enterprises in one fell swoop."
"Yes, Not Bad!"
Li Guoyao then continued: "The headquarters has also expanded various technical arms during this period. The cavalry and artillery brigade and the fire support brigade were upgraded to columns. In addition, more than 4,000 prisoners of war have also completed the briefing process."The training of new recruits can be allocated to each column from now on. The headquarters has studied and decided that one thousand of the four thousand recruits will be allocated to the first column, two thousand of them will be allocated to the second column, and the remaining one thousand will be allocated to the cavalry column. Do you have any objections to the artillery column? "
"No!"
Everyone said in unison, it can be seen that these people are still very satisfied with Li Guoyao's distribution!
"In addition, there are 5,000 new recruits at the headquarters, but these 5,000 new recruits are different from those prisoners of war. Most of them are from good families with innocent family backgrounds. They have never even touched a gun before, so they still need to train for a while. That¡¯s all.¡±
"yes!"
Li Guoyao then continued: "Everyone has worked very hard during this period. Both the troops fighting on the front line and the logistics department have made outstanding achievements. Taking advantage of this period of rest, everyone should seize the time"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "bump", and the door of the conference room was knocked open from the outside, and then a combat staff officer rushed in.
The sudden sound made everyone jump, and when Ma Desheng saw the person coming, he immediately asked in a deep voice: "Zhou Yaowu, don't you know there is a meeting here?"
The person who came was none other than Zhou Yaowu, the staff officer of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps Staff Department. He was Ma Desheng's fellow Hunan fellow and a staff officer whom Ma Desheng valued.
Before Zhou Yaowu could speak, Li Guoyao said: "Old horse, calm down for a moment, Xiao Zhou is not a reckless person, something must have happened!"
Zhou Yaowu immediately nodded and said: "Commander, something happened. The First Column and Second Brigade sent an emergency telegram with an important situation report!"
Li Guoyao said: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Yaowu immediately took out a telegram and handed it over!
After receiving the telegram from Zhou Yaowu, Li Guoyao read it carefully!
However, as soon as I took a second look, I saw that Li Guoyao's body that was originally sitting suddenly stood up. His expression was also unusually solemn, and one of his fists was clenched tightly.
Seeing Li Guoyao¡¯s expression, everyone at the scene sat up straight with curious looks on their faces!
"Commander, what happened?" Xu Hu asked in a deep voice.
Li Guoyao softened the expression on his face and said: "I just received news that an infantry squad of our army stationed in Lizhuang, Shanting, was attacked by an elite squadron of the Japanese army last night. In order to cover the transfer of the masses, our troops, one column and two troops The third squadron and one small team of the brigade were severely damaged. After the war, only 7 of the 55 people in the team were left. The people of Lizhuang also suffered heavy casualties. 133 people were killed, including 27 children and 4 infants. In addition, food, livestock The property damage is incalculable.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Tengjiao slammed the table and shouted at Ni Zhiliang, who was standing next to him: "Old Ni, how did you become the captain? You don't even know if the Japanese are inside the defense area. It's ridiculous."
Ni Zhiliang also looked confused at this time. He didn't know how to talk about this matter, but after all, it was his subordinates who had the accident, and he had to bear the responsibility both emotionally and rationally.
In view of this, Ni Zhiliang stood up directly without hesitation and said: "Commander, what happened is that we did not do our job well. Please go up to the peak to punish us."
However, Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "We are not talking about punishment now. Since such a thing happened, we can't continue the meeting now. You should return to your respective stations immediately. I think the little devil shouldn't be here on a whim "
Just as he was talking, the door of the conference room was knocked open again, and then another combat staff rushed in, and then said to Li Guoyao: "Commander, the second column and the first team are in urgent need of electricity!"
