Li Guoyao was shocked when he received the telegram from Lu Zhanwu about the attack!
According to Lu Zhanwu¡¯s report, when they retreated to Guantaoying Town, the troops were suddenly attacked by a mysterious armed force.
Because the Japanese army was pursuing them at that time, the troops were on a hasty march. In addition, they were not very familiar with the terrain, so the leading troops sent out did not find anything unusual. Just as the troops were passing through a forest, they were suddenly attacked.
The opponent did not wear standard military uniforms, and the weapons and equipment were not very good, but they caused great losses to Lu Zhanwu's troops.
Although Lu Zhanwu¡¯s troops finally defeated the opponent, post-war statistics showed that they killed more than 500 people and injured more than 300 people in this battle, with a total of more than 800 casualties.
In addition, more than fifty cavalry were lost in this battle. These are veterans and elites.
The main reason why the casualties were so serious was that the troops were exhausted after marching long distances, and they were suddenly attacked and caught off guard.
Of course, the most important thing is that there are too many recruits under Lu Zhanwu's command. 80% of the more than 4,000 people are recruits. These people are either converted from the puppet army or simply recruited recruits. Before joining the army, Many of them have never even touched a gun.
When they were suddenly attacked, the new soldiers immediately became a mess. If they were old troops, they would not be beaten into such a bear state even if they were suddenly attacked.
Afterwards, Lu Zhanwu and others investigated the identity of the enemy. Based on the clothes and weapons and equipment of the killed enemy, they inferred that this unit was not bandits or the Eighth Route Army, but a regular unit of the national army, because they were killed in several battles. The officers' ID cards of the national army were found on the bodies of the officers who were killed.
It can be seen from these officer certificates that the designation of the unit that attacked Li Guoyao turned out to be the Third Guerrilla Regiment of the Hebei-Cha War Zone.
After learning the news, Li Guoyao fell into silence!
Li Guoyao knew something about the situation in the Hebei-Cha War Zone. This war zone was established at the end of 1938. The combat areas were mainly concentrated in central Hebei, southern Hebei, and northern Henan. The commander-in-chief was Lu Zhonglin, and the deputy commanders-in-chief were Shi Yousan and Pang Bingxun. The main units include the 39th Group Army and the 24th Group Army, as well as Sun Dianying's newly formed 5th Army, Zhang Yinwu's Hebei People's Army, etc.
Logically speaking, I have no grievances with the above-mentioned people in recent times and in the past. They have no reason to attack Lu Zhanwu and others. After all, Lu Zhanwu and others are not wearing Japanese military uniforms.
However, the problem now is that Lu Zhanwu and others were attacked, and they could not fight back. For a while, the troops on the front line did not know what to do.
In addition, the Japanese Chichai Regiment has also arrived at Guantao. The national army blocked the road in front of it, and the Japanese army pursued it later. If you are not careful, Lu Zhanwu's entire army may be annihilated.
After some thought, Li Guoyao ordered Lu Zhanwu and others not to continue heading west for the time being, but also to avoid the main force of the Chichai Regiment. Anyway, they now have fewer people and are relatively flexible.
Li Guoyao then reported the situation to the Sulu Theater Headquarters and asked them to immediately contact the Hebei-Cha Theater to ask why they wanted to attack Lu Zhanwu and others.
Soon, the Sulu Theater Headquarters responded, saying that it was all a misunderstanding and that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple!
According to the response from the Hebei-Cha War Zone, the guerrilla group that attacked Lu Zhanwu was affiliated with Zhang Yinwu's Hebei People's Army. The reason why they attacked Lu Zhanwu was not because they had any grudge against the Shandong Guerrilla Corps, but because they mistakenly identified them as He had defeated the Eighth Route Army, so he fired.
In addition, the Hebei-Cha War Zone apologized for this incident and was willing to compensate Li Guoyao for the losses of his troops. If Li Guoyao was willing, the Hebei-Cha War Zone was willing to compensate them 20,000 yuan and give them another 500 long and short guns.
After reading the reply from the Sulu Theater Headquarters, Li Guoyao felt suffocated in his heart. The reason for shooting was that he had mistakenly admitted the wrong person. What is even more outrageous is that they actually mistook Lu Zhanwu and others for the Eighth Route Army. Could it be that they were the Eighth Route Army and not friendly forces? , can you shoot?
Li Guoyao has always known that the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is not as good as it seems, but he did not expect that it would be so bad.
In fact, what Li Guoyao didn't know was that the two sides had fought several times before. The reason was that the National Army was very dissatisfied with the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River eastward and entered Shanxi, Hebei and other places to fight. During this period, the Eighth Route Army successively established the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region Government, the Central Hebei Administrative Office, the Southern Hebei Administrative Office, the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Border Region, and the Western Shanxi Region. , Shanxi-Chasui Border Region, Jidong District, Shandong Column and other anti-Japanese base areas and armed forces.
Here?In addition to strong administrative organizations and grassroots military organizations in the anti-Japanese base areas, there are also the Peasants¡¯ Salvation Association, the Workers¡¯ Salvation Association, the Youth Salvation Association, the Women¡¯s Salvation Association, and the Children¡¯s League. The above-mentioned political organizations, military organizations, mass organizations, etc. , all under the unified leadership of the local Red Parties in order to unify the anti-Japanese actions and carry out the work of disintegrating the enemy and puppet troops.
This not only gradually consolidated and expanded the anti-Japanese base areas, but also enabled the main force and local armed forces to develop greatly in the anti-Japanese war.
Due to the implementation of the mass anti-Japanese war, the enemy's North China Front army failed to achieve its intended purpose even though it organized multiple campaigns of varying sizes.
At the end of 1938, the Nationalist Government held military conferences on the northern and southern battlefields in Nanyue, Hunan, and Wugong, Shaanxi. In addition to reviewing the first phase of the war against Japan and studying the future second phase of operations, the meeting also reviewed the troop organization system and The high-level command organization made adjustments and judged the future military situation.
Senior officials of the national army believe that the Japanese Army has used 24 of its existing 34 divisions on the vast battlefields within the Chinese Pass. This has actually used its power to a certain limit. In order to consolidate its front and occupied areas, it is difficult to continue With a large number of troops deployed to launch a strategic offensive, the military pressure from the Japanese army was slightly relieved.
However, the Nationalist Government was deeply frightened by the great development of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance. It actually took advantage of the suspension of the Japanese offensive to initiate a wave of rebellion. It was the Nationalist Government in Hebei that was the first to implement this policy. Military troops.
As early as October 1937, the Military Commission appointed Zhang Yinwu, who was originally from Boye County, Hebei Province and had served as the commander of the Jin Army, as the commander-in-chief of the People's Army of Hebei Province. The 1st Theater also appointed Sun Dianying as the guerrilla commander in western Hebei. . Subsequently, the Military Commission appointed Lu Zhonglin as the Commander-in-Chief of the Hebei-Cha War Zone and Chairman of the Hebei Provincial Government, and transferred two divisions of Shi Yousan's 69th Army and Zhu Huaibing's 94th Division to Hebei.
When Lu Zhonglin was traveling from Henan Province to the provincial headquarters in Luo Town, west of Xingtai, and passed through southeastern Shanxi, the leadership of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army welcomed him and told him that the troops of the 129th Division entering Hebei and the anti-Japanese regime established , welcome Lu to take office in Hebei Province and will provide support.
However, Lu Zhonglin, who had not long arrived in Hebei, relied on his old social foundation and past appeal in Hebei, and when his old subordinates came back one after another, he used this as a backing to propose the abolition of the rule of the Communist Party, the Eighth Route Army and the people of Hebei. The so-called reason for the newly established anti-Japanese democratic regime behind enemy lines - the Central Hebei Administrative Office, the Southern Hebei Administrative Office and the county governments of each county is that "national power must be unified."
?The two sides then had many confrontations, and it can be said that they were on equal footing.
This time, Lu Zhanwu and others retreated into southern Hebei in plain clothes. Since they did not wear the national army's standard military uniforms and were dusty along the way, Zhang Yinwu's troops mistook them for the Eighth Route Army, so they took advantage of the terrain to ambush them.
Li Guoyao was naturally very angry for this reason, but he couldn't have an attack now, but he remembered this matter, and there would be plenty of opportunities to settle accounts in the future.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Guoyao asked the Sulu Theater Headquarters to contact the Hebei-Cha War Area Headquarters on his behalf, saying that Lu Zhanwu's headquarters was a unit directly under the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. After fighting in Western Shandong, it withdrew to southern Hebei and now has more than 5,000 Japanese troops including the Chichai Regiment. The people have already chased them to Guantao. In order to prevent the entire army from being annihilated, Lu Bu will continue to withdraw westward, hoping that the Jicha War Zone will take care of him.
At the same time, Li Guoyao once again called Lu Zhanwu's headquarters and asked him to deal with the Japanese army with Guantao as the center and gradually control the towns and villages below Guantao.
At the same time, Li Guoyao also told Lu Zhanwu that from now on, the development focus of their unit will be in western Shandong and southern Hebei. Don't worry about the Hebei-Cha war zone. If you are annoyed, just fight back. Once is enough for everything, and you will never be merciful the second time! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
