Chapter 106: Ambush at Huangyadi (1)

The next day, October 30, Liu Hua was preparing to carry out his own arsenal plan, but a telegram from the headquarters disrupted Liu Hua's plan. The headquarters forwarded a 129 telegram of enemy situation analysis.

According to the analysis of the 129th Division, Liu Bocheng, in order to quickly open up the Shotai Passage, a brigade of the 136th Regiment of the Japanese 109th Division will attack Xiyang from Jiulong Pass in early November. At this time, the 129th Division has not yet entered Xiyang.

To gain a foothold in the area, Commander Liu hoped that the Independent Brigade could conduct an ambush against the enemy in the Huangyadi area east of Xiyang, the northern and southern boundary capitals, to delay the Japanese attack on Xiyang.

Looking at the telegram in front of him, Liu Hua shook his head ruthlessly. According to previous history, his place should have been the base of the 386th Brigade, and this battle should have been commanded by Commander Liu himself. But now that he has arrived, it is completely

It changed the distribution of the base area in eastern Shanxi.

Taking the telegram, Liu Hua had no choice but to put aside the long-prepared "Arsenal Plan" and began to study the map. Historically, the 386 Brigade used a small group of troops to lure the enemy deep into the battlefield, leading the enemy to the Huangyadi area.

, and then inflicted a large number of casualties on the Japanese army. Now that he is here, none of the more than a thousand Japs can escape. Liu Hua thought secretly.

"Communicator, teach the political commissar chief of staff to the war room and tell him that there is an urgent military situation."

Soon the two people came to the war room. Liu Hua handed the telegram from the headquarters to them and began to study the map. "Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, what do you think of this battle?" Liu Hua asked, staring at the map.

The first person to speak was the political commissar. "Brigadier Commander, Chief of Staff Li, I think we must fight this battle, and we must fight it well and win."

"Political commissar, what are you talking about?" After hearing what the political commissar said, Liu Hua immediately raised his head.

"You see, our fight in this battle will not only help the 129th Division, which is not yet stable, but it will also be of great benefit to us. Look at the map, the bottom of Huangya is to the south of our current base area, only a few meters away from the edge of the base area.

Less than 50 miles away, this place was included in the map the brigade commander asked the reconnaissance battalion to draw last time. If we win a battle there, then we will open up the situation in the area south of Zhangjiazhuang, and there will be many more

The villages have become our base areas. There is another important reason. Although we now have base areas in several villages, the people still don’t believe that we are fighting the Japanese. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, we unite the people in the current base areas.

Get up, we must win again, and a victory that can be seen by the people. I have finished my words."

After listening to what the political commissar said, Liu Hua and the chief of staff looked at each other and agreed.

"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, this battle must be fought. The three of us have decided. Let's see how to fight this battle successfully. The elite troops of a brigade of the Japanese army are not the heavy baggage troops we ambush last time.

, The battle is not easy to fight!" Liu Hua felt a burst of heartache when he thought of the casualties in the last battle.

"Well, this is indeed a problem, but the battlefield Commander Liu chose for us is a good place. Look, this is the map of Huangya bottom hand-drawn by the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion. The bottom of Huangya is mainly the river valley, and the two ends are

There are two villages at each end of the flat plain, namely Fengju Village south of Huangyadi and Degongjiazhuang east of Huangyadi. The strength of a Japanese army brigade, plus the heavy weapons and supplies they carry with them, must stretch for more than

On the two-mile road, the valley at the bottom of Huangya is less than 500 meters long, so the Japs in the valley are easy to deal with. In my opinion, after the battle starts, the Japs in the valley will definitely try their best to break out, and

The peripheral troops occupy the villages at both ends of the river valley together, so that they can stand still and wait for help, or they can break out. Therefore, we must eliminate the Japanese who enter the river valley as much as possible, and kill and injure the Japanese as much as possible. In this way, we can

It is possible to completely annihilate the Japanese." The chief of staff talked while looking at the map. Liu Hua and the political commissar listened carefully.

"Yes, we can only do it according to what the chief of staff said. This is the best way to annihilate the enemy. What I would like to add is that the Japanese artillerymen and heavy machine gunners that are put into the river valley are the best. The battle begins

From now on, all the heavy weapons of the Japanese must be left in the river valley so that they cannot be used in subsequent battles."

In this way, a detailed ambush plan was released. According to the plan, the first regiment, one battalion and two battalions were commanded by the regiment leader Sun Xingbang to ambush in Fengju Village south of Huangyadi. When the Japanese broke through to Fengju Village again,

Use artillery fire and heavy firepower to kill and injure the enemy's active strength as much as possible. When the enemy's vitality is seriously injured, the whole regiment will attack, and the attack time will be controlled by yourself. The first and second battalions of the second regiment lie in ambush on the high ground in the Gongjiazhuang area east of Huangyadi.

When the enemy broke through to Gongjiazhuang Yidai, they attacked with force and completely defeated the enemy. Since the Third Regiment had a battalion stationed in each village, the battle was not concentrated this time. The Third Regiment was ambushing in the southeast of the valley, one, two, two.

The remaining two battalions of the regiment are ambushing in the northwest. The ambush position is under the unified command of the chief of staff. The guard battalion and the reconnaissance battalion are the reserve teams of the entire army. They are commanded by me and the political commissar and control the overall situation. The two mountain artillery companies stay at the base area.

, does not participate in ambush battles, the first regiment is assigned a mortar company, the second regiment is assigned a mortar company, and the ambush position is also assigned a mortar company."

Soon, this combat plan was sent to each commander, and then the entire independent brigade began to operate like a war machine, mobilizing troops, handing over command, distributing ammunition, and making dry food. All troops were working in an orderly manner.

We were carrying out pre-war preparations. Finally on the next day, the 31st, after the troops had a good meal, they set off from the base camp Zhangjiazhuang with three days of dry food.

Along the way, every soldier was full of confidence in the coming battle, because after a week of fighting, especially the annihilation of the activated bandits and landlords' armed forces, the most harvested thing for the troops was the shell guns. You must know that after having a large number of shell guns, the troops

In the process of entering the station, there will no longer be the stabbing of the Japanese army. Now each regiment has one of the most elite platoons, all equipped with double guns, a pistol, and a rifle, and this unit is specially controlled by the respective regiment.

With his long hands, he was ready to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese in close combat.

After nearly a day of covert march, the troops finally arrived at the Huangyadi area on the night of the 31st. Regardless of the fatigue of the long march, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion immediately put on plain clothes and conducted reconnaissance in Fengju Village and Gongjiazhuang. However, the situation was good.

, since it was already night, the reconnaissance results in the two villages were very good, and no common people discovered the independent brigade that had arrived at the bottom of Huangya.

"Order each regiment to build positions according to the original plan, and request that border posts be sent to the two villages. Before the battle begins, people in the villages are prohibited from entering and exiting at will. Special attention should be paid to several landlords in the village. According to the intelligence of the underground party

, these landowners are all suspected of collaborating with the enemy and being traitors, we can deal with them after we defeat the Japanese?"

The next day, after dawn, the villagers from the two villages on both sides of Huangya got up together and found that many soldiers appeared in the village. They were wondering if the Chinese troops had retreated and why they suddenly appeared again. Could it be that the Japanese were Japanese soldiers?

The troops retreated. When everyone was confused, the soldiers gave them the reason: "The troops are going to fight here in the past two days, so within two days, the villagers are prohibited from lighting fires for cooking and entering and exiting. It is best to stay at home. The troops provide a certain amount of dry food."

.

Although many people were dissatisfied with not being allowed to go out, they were happy to stay at home when they thought about the troops not looting the village and the dry food distributed by the troops in the past two days. Only a few landowners clamored to store it.

However, in a very short period of time, they were solved by the soldiers. Even the food at home was not saved and all was confiscated.

Some villagers saw that the troops suppressed the landlord bullies in the village. The news soon spread. In addition, the troops were here to fight the Japanese. Soon some villagers came over to chat with the soldiers and brought their family members to them.

Tools were lent to the soldiers to dig trenches, and some ordinary people even jumped directly into the trenches to help the soldiers dig.

With the help of the villagers, the positions were built very quickly. In less than half a day, all three positions were completed. Liu Hua took the political commissar, chief of staff and others to personally inspect each position and inspected the unqualified positions.

Modifications were made one by one, and by the time the troops had lunch, all positions were qualified, and now they were waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

Returning to the headquarters, Liu Huaxian was bored and began to sort out the historical trajectory in his mind. Just after the ambush was completed, the historical 386 Brigade began to send working groups to the countryside to establish local guerrillas and slowly improve them.

The construction of the base area. Obviously, I don’t have any big tasks during this period, so I can concentrate on the construction of the base area. Especially the economic construction of the base area does not increase the grain reserves in the base area. At the same time, I must take advantage of this situation.

We will use this free time to develop our own arsenal and strive to produce our own ammunition early next year.

In February and March of 1938, in order to cooperate with the Kuomintang's Yellow River defense line, they would launch a series of raids to paralyze the enemy's traffic. In order to better destroy the enemy's traffic, the railway guerrillas must

To establish, of course, Liu Hua would change his name.

In April, the Japanese army began to besiege the base area, and Liu Hua's troops were also forced to participate in the anti-"Japanese nine-way siege"...

Thinking of this, Liu Hua felt excited, because he had already established the base area that the 386th Brigade had only established at the end of the year, and all that was left was management. It seemed that his future development would be much better than that of General Chen Geng. I don’t know.

Before I knew it, the second day had arrived.
