    Chapter 229: Many crises!  !  !

    Many years later, Niu Sanwa, who later participated in the battle, said in his memoir "My Days of Fighting Behind Enemy Lines" published in 1975:

    ¡°When the troops of our regiment began to tighten the encirclement at Shanyang Tun Encirclement Point, a situation happened that we could never have imagined.

    At that time, I was observing the enemy situation with the old commander Tao Ping in the artillery command post in front of the front position. I was working with the commander Cai to observe the movements of the Japanese soldiers in the bunker with the newly captured Japanese telescope.

    The white flag began to fly on the main bunker of the Shanyangtun stronghold. The Japanese plaster flag that was fluttering in the wind just now was also thrown outside the bunker by several puppet soldiers. Then, a very file-looking puppet soldier stretched out his hand.  Half of his head came out and he started shouting.

    Because I was too far away, we didn¡¯t hear what the puppet soldier was shouting, but my intuition at the time told me that it was probably the Japanese in the bunker who couldn¡¯t hold it anymore and were ready to surrender!

    ¡®Grandma, these grandsons are really arrogant. Look at his arrogance. We haven¡¯t even started fighting yet!  He started raising the white flag over there!  ¡¯ Tao Ping, the old chief, said as he handed the telescope to the political commissar Yang Hongyi on the side.

    ¡®It seems that the dozen or so cannons we just placed on the position are responsible for this!  With tens of thousands of us surrounded, the puppet soldiers in the stronghold must have panicked!  ¡¯ Political Commissar Yang Hongyi said meaningfully to the old chief Tao Ping.

    ¡®That¡¯s probably the reason! Otherwise, the two Japs in this bunker wouldn¡¯t have been able to surrender so happily!  ¡¯ Tao Ping, the old chief, then said to political commissar Yang Hongyi.

    But then the actions of the puppet troops in the bunker surprised us even more. They actually escorted three Japanese soldiers wearing Japanese military uniforms to the top of the bunker, and then chopped them down in front of our frontline soldiers.

    The result can be imagined. When the knife was raised and fell, their heads fell to the ground. With two knife blows, the dog heads of the two Japanese soldiers were immediately chopped off. Finally, they were killed like dead dogs by several puppet soldiers from the top of the bunker.  Still went on.

    ¡°Old Tao, come and see, these Japanese Japs are starting to vote for you!¡± He happily handed the telescope to the old chief Tao Ping.

    'OK!  It seems that the shells we prepared for the devils can be saved this time!  ¡¯ The old chief laughed and said to Political Commissar Yang.

    After finishing speaking, the two burst out laughing.

    Later, after the battle, we learned that the reason why the Japanese surrendered so quickly this time was that, in addition to the pressure from our heavy troops and artillery, there was another very important reason. An inside line we developed just last month had  Great effect.

    This person was none other than Bai Zuoren, the puppet platoon leader at the time. Because he promptly awakened those puppet officers and soldiers who were still a little worried about surrendering to our army, our battle this time became so smooth.  .  "

    ***************************************************  ***

    Although Lieutenant General Iijima Aiharu was killed by Taoping's troops, more than 1,400 people were killed. However, due to the suddenness of the start of the battle in Taoping, the Japanese intelligence agencies in the entire Shijiazhuang Japanese Army Headquarters were not able to do so.  Knowing who they are fighting now, you think this is funny or not, they have been fighting for a long time and they don¡¯t even know who their opponent is!

    ??That is to say, until now, Lieutenant General Aiharu Iijima and Chief of Staff Banri Eda Ega do not know which unit they are fighting, let alone the number of this unit and who the highest military officer is.

    ¡°In fact, it was not just them who were equally puzzled by the Japanese army bosses in Shijiazhuang, but also Jiang who was far away in Chongqing and the editors-in-chief of major newspapers in Chongqing.

    The reason is very simple. Everyone has a radio station. Captain Oe Genichiro's last words of speech released through the international public signal channel completely exposed the battle of the 911 Brigade to attack the Shanyangtun stronghold in front of the whole country.

    Since Captain Oe Genichiro didn't know whose army was outside, he only said that he was attacked by the Chinese *** team, so everyone's curiosity was suddenly aroused - grandma's, not  Did you say that the Japanese soldiers are very dangerous? At this time, you are starting to be beaten until you are called a mother. By the way, this is the army beating these grandsons!

    "Let the Ministry of National Defense go and check it out. This is the army that beat the little Japanese so hard that he started talking nonsense! I want to reward his military commander!" Jiang was very happy to pick up the message in his hand and send it to the attendant room.  Staff Officer Zhang said.

    "Yes!" Staff Officer Zhang immediately stood at attention and saluted with a standard military salute.

    ¡°Then we came down, Minister He sent people to check for a long time, and found out that no troops were active near Shijiazhuang!  You must know that it is an enemy-occupied area, and all the guerrilla troops of the *** have been defeated by the little devils, unless it isThese mud legs from Yan'an.

    After figuring this out, Minister He immediately sent someone to send a telegram to ask about Yan'an.

    Finally, we finally got a definite answer - this is Tao Ping's 911 Brigade attacking the Japanese's main stronghold called Shanyangtun.

    So Minister He immediately reported to Jiang in person.

    "What are you talking about? This is Tao Ping's 911 Brigade taking down a main Japs stronghold!" Jiang said to Minister He in great surprise.

    "Yes, according to the Eighth Route Army, that's what happened!" Minister He then said to Jiang very carefully.

    "So these mud-legged guys now have considerable ability to attack difficult situations! I never thought that before, they suppressed bandits every day and every year, but they actually created such a situation and made these mud-legged guys become big!  "Jiang said to Minister He in surprise.

    "Ming Ming, President, it is indeed mentioned. According to our intelligence, there are 1,500 to 600 Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the Shanyangtun stronghold captured by Taoping's 911 Brigade. Among them, the Japanese army accounts for  Nearly half of them were there, and there were twelve tanks equipped in the stronghold.

    Therefore, if you want to capture such a heavily guarded armed town, you must have considerable offensive strength. I am afraid that Tao Ping's troops now have the same offensive ability as a main division of the Communist Party of China!  "Minister He then said to Jiang very carefully.

    After listening to Minister He's words, Mr. Jiang's face immediately darkened. Without saying a word, he looked at the map of the Republic of China on the wall and was lost in thought. Minister He just understood what was happening and was quietly waiting for Mr. Jiang.  Further instructions.

    Nearly five minutes later, Jiang made a few gestures on the map and then said meaningfully to Minister He:

    "Militarily speaking, this Shanyangtun stronghold is an important gateway for the Japanese army to defend Shijiazhuang. This time it was captured by Tao Ping and the others, which is of great strategic significance. Therefore, I immediately sent a telegram to the Eighth Route Army headquarters to commend Tao Ping and  Let his troops further expand their victory."

    After listening to Mr. Jiang¡¯s words, how could Minister He, an old fox, not immediately understand and say:

    "President Gao Ming, the Japanese will not let go of such a big counterattack opportunity! By then, as long as the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese soldiers fight, we can reap the benefits! This time the Eighth Route Army attacked the Shanyangtun stronghold with casualties  It must be quite big, I think if we take such a blow from the Japanese again, our vitality will be greatly damaged."

    "This matter can only be understood, not expressed in words!" Jiang said meaningfully.

    Yan'an, that small farmhouse that has appeared in countless movies.

    "Chief, this is Tao Ping's secret telegram that has just been forwarded from the Eighth Route Army headquarters." Chief No. 2 said to Chief No. 1 with a telegram printed with the word "Top Secret" in red.

    "Why, Tao Ping has some surprising and special ideas this time!" Chief No. 1 said to Chief No. 2 in a thick local accent.

    "It's about anti-friction. Comrade Tao Ping is now very worried that Chongqing will kill our Jiangsu and Anhui New Fourth Army!" Chief No. 2 then said to Chief No. 1.

    "Come here and take a look!" He said that the No. 1 chief took over the message from the No. 2 chief.

    After receiving the message, Chief No. 1 immediately read it carefully.

    As the reading progressed, Chief No. 1¡¯s face became increasingly ugly. After a long time, Chief No. 1 let out a long sigh and said:

    "I really didn't expect that a comrade who had just been promoted from a local government would have such profound insights, but why do some of our leading comrades still have illusions about Chiang Kai-shek and the Chongqing government!"

    ¡°Chief, what do you mean?¡± Chief No. 2 then asked.

    "As Comrade Tao Ping said, the last time the Kuomintang reactionaries suffered a loss at the hands of the New Fourth Army, they would not be so willing. Therefore, in addition to making the New Fourth Army in Jiangsu and Anhui prepare for emergencies,  Now the New Fourth Army is ordered to move. It is surrounded by tigers and wolves and is alone. This is by no means a good sign. It must be moved! When the time comes, they will come and give you another iron tube formation. When three or four divisions are surrounded, it will be blocked immediately.  You call the sky to be ineffective, and you call the earth and the earth to respond." Chief No. 1 said to Chief No. 2 worriedly.

    "But I'm worried that some leaders of the New Fourth Army will be dissatisfied! After all, they have been operating in the local area for so many years, they have feelings, and they will be reluctant to let go for a while!" Chief No. 2 said to Chief No. 1 with some worry.

    After hearing what Chief No. 2 said, Chief No. 1 became even more worried and said to Chief No. 2:

    "Give it up, give it up, there will be nothing if you don't give up. What time has it come now? Last time, they sent a waiter to come to our home to relax"??, but we were caught and beaten badly.

    This time, the waiter went home with swollen cheeks to complain, and the soldiers didn't come. The next time they don't come, it will be a big group of people. For these newly formed teams, the recruits are so  There are so many people, but no one has as many family members, no one has as many guns as they need, let alone cannons.

    Nowadays, other people have more machine guns than you have rifles, and other people have more cannons than you have machine guns.  People are eager to engage in positional warfare!  Before you even shoot, other people's artillery shells are flying over, so we must give up those pots and pans now and immediately order the New Fourth Army to make strategic shifts.

    As for what they said makes sense!  Not to mention, are you a reasonable person?  Have we suffered less in this regard before?  "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at *** (***.***), ***. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
