The strongest militia

()('Thank you for giving me three rewards, and now I am offering one more to express my thanks!)

When gunshots pierced the night sky of Xingtai, the column militiamen who took down the city gate quickly opened the city gate and let in the column cavalry regiment on standby outside.As a result, when the Japanese army detachments stationed in two other places outside the city heard the gunshots and quickly assembled to come to support, they happened to collide with the cavalry troops entering the city.

Seeing the cavalry units that had already charged, those little devils who rushed to support them didn't even have time to react.Except for a few Japanese soldiers who survived the first round of cavalry slashing, most of the rest of the Japanese army either had their heads chopped off, or their entire bodies were split by sabers.In short, when the frightened people went out after dawn, they were really shocked to see the tragic situation of the little devils at the scene. They turned around and hid back to their homes and began to vomit.

As the soldiers of the First Brigade and One Regiment took control of all the four city gates, the puppet troops who lived with the little ghost army threw their guns aside as soon as they saw the cavalry troops coming to make a surprise attack. Crouching on the ground waiting to be caught.And when some angry little devils saw that the puppet army was so useless, they were about to kill two of them as a warning, but before his shots were fired, the puppet army soldiers controlled by the militia column had already shot him in the head.

This kind of civil war was somewhat incomprehensible to the militiamen of the cavalry regiment, until a puppet soldier inside put down his gun and came to their leading officer and showed a sign from the column militia intelligence office.Those puppet soldiers who survived suddenly realized that they really had internal support in the city.

But it was precisely because they saw this scene that in a short time, they might just stay in the rear base of the militia column.Although they will not be detained, doing some physical work is unavoidable.Only when the 'white-skinned and red-hearted' team members selected by this intelligence team member can be exempted from this punishment, the other puppet troops who have bullied the common people with the little devils will end up not even needing the coolie militia column, and will be directly escorted outside for public trial Afterwards, he was shot.

Seeing that the situation in Xingtai City had been controlled by the militia column, Deng Chenggong confessed that Liu Shuangquan would temporarily serve as Xingtai's interim commander, responsible for the public trial of those puppet soldiers and puppet government officials who had persecuted the people. The officials discussed to prevent the accidental killing of some real resistance members who were hiding in the puppet army.And after the moving brigade of the district team and the village team arrived, they immediately removed all the things and equipment in the city that were connected with the Japanese army, except the homes of the common people.As for the Japanese people who immigrated after the Japanese army entered, all their property was confiscated and they were blindfolded and sent to the rear base for custody. <>

As for the cavalry regiment, they followed him to Shaheba, preparing to ambush the Japanese army that might return at any time.In addition, in order to prevent the Japanese army from inquiring about information, after the militiamen from the district team arrived, Xingtai City was only allowed to enter but not to exit.Anyone has to wait until they evacuate Xingtai, and then Xingtai will be handed over to any party.Moreover, in order to minimize the intention of the militia column to ambush the large Japanese army, Deng Chenggong confessed to Liu Shuangquan an hour before leaving, and declared victory to the whole country in the name of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.I believe that when the time comes, the little devil and the Nationalist Party will be very surprised when they see the expressions in this telegram!

After Deng Chenggong left Xingtai City with the cavalry regiment, the people who had already left their homes saw the militia units driving donkeys and carts at the gates of the four cities.Can't help sighing: "The gang of 'bandits' have entered the city to rob again! But this time they are robbing the little devil's things, relieve yourself!" Even some courageous citizens in the city joined the militia in the helping team.

After helping out, they still asked the militiamen who were doing their best to demolish the living conditions in the base area of ​​the column, because most of the people who helped out didn't want to live in the city anymore.So taking advantage of the opportunity to help the other party, I secretly asked these militiamen if they moved to the base area to live, would there be any trouble.

Aiming at this kind of people who came to the base areas from other places or counties in North China, in order to prevent enemy intelligence personnel with ulterior motives from being mixed in.Both Deng Chenggong and Xu Mingyuan deliberately referred to this type of people as new immigrants.For these new immigrant people, the base area will send special personnel to send them to live in a hidden immigrant village.Usually they are restricted from going out and going out, but there is no problem with farming, farm work, and even food and clothing.

In a word, they are not allowed to enter or leave the immigrant village at will until they are cleared of their suspicions.Only after they confirm that they are ordinary people and not people sent by enemy spies to the base area, they will follow the immigration requirements.Whether to choose to live in the fortress village in the base area, or to stay in the immigrant village and become an old villager.

Of course, these immigrants who have residency qualifications will get a residence certificate specially issued by the militia column, and only ordinary people with this residence certificate.Only then can they move around in the base area. Otherwise, as long as the people who have not obtained the resident certificate enter the village with the militia team, it will definitely not be long before they will be controlled by the intelligence personnel of the column that followed for investigation.Either wait for his end to be sent to the new immigrant village, or the other party is really an outsider who comes to visit relatives and friends. After the secret of the militia column is not detected, he will still be sent out of the country by intelligence personnel.

As for the scouts with ulterior motives, wait for them to be killed or sent to the rear base to work in the mines guarded by the rear base to make atonement.In short, as long as you are a real commoner, you will be treated equally in the eyes of the militia column. If you are not a real commoner, waiting for your end will definitely not be so good.This is the national anti-infiltration policy implemented by the militia columns in response to the war of resistance.

An hour later, the Fourth Division, which had surrounded the militia troops commanded by Hu Guangzong, and the rest of the garrison troops were preparing to launch an attack with heavy troops.As a result, as a telegram came out of nowhere, the battle of annihilation had to come to a halt.

This is a clear-coded telegram, a clear-coded telegram sent by the 129th Division in its entirety, which roughly means that the 129th Division is supporting the War of Resistance in North China.After entering North China, after a one-night battle, the fallen Xingtai City, an important town in North China, was liberated.And wiped out the garrison troops of the Japanese army, and won the first big victory after entering the North China theater.

The first reaction of the national government's intelligence department to this news was that it was impossible. How could a brigade-level force of the Eighth Route Army capture a county where a brigade of the Japanese Army was stationed?

Until the North China Garrison Headquarters of the Japanese Army sent several batches of intelligence personnel into the city to inquire about the news but failed, it could be seen from the clothes of the soldiers guarding the city that they should be the rear of the Eighth Route Army.Sasaki Sasaki, the commander of the 108th Brigade of the Japanese Army who was originally planning to participate in the encirclement, immediately resigned as Commander Matsui.After all, Xingtai is located on the main road in North China, and once this important place is lost.For the Japanese army, which has already controlled the situation in North China, it undoubtedly opened a strategic gap.If he can't regain Xingtai in a short time, the fate waiting for him is self-evident.

Regarding Sasaki's resignation, Matsui Ming, who also understood the strategic importance of Xingtai City, felt that the encirclement and suppression of the bandit militia in North China was not as difficult as imagined.Otherwise, they would not have chased each other all the way here.I have long thought that mobilizing troops to deal with the militia armed forces like this is obviously a cannon attacking mosquitoes!

Considering that the Eighth Route Army unit that captured Xingtai was a regular unit at a lower level than Japan, in Matsui Ming's view, fighting such a regular Chinese army can reflect the strength of the main force of the Japanese Fourth Division. prestige.Considering that the militia and bandits in the encirclement had almost lost their ability to fight back, Matsui ordered General Matsui to report the situation here to the North China Garrison Command, and the commander Mei Yan finally agreed that the Fourth Division would leave a small infantry unit Cooperate with the rest of the garrison troops.Carry out an in-depth encirclement and suppression of those militia and bandit armed forces who are still preparing to resist stubbornly.He led the main force of the Fourth Division, assisted Sasaki to recapture Xingtai City, and wiped out the main force of the Eighth Route Army that had sneaked into the North China battlefield as much as possible.

Seeing that the Fourth Division and Sasaki had the opportunity to attack the main force of China and stay in the Shahe area to encircle and suppress the rest of the militia, they undoubtedly felt a little disappointed.Along the way, although they haven't had much frontal combat with each other, they, the regular Japanese troops, feel a little annoyed by the militia troops in front of them who only steal and make trouble for you.

Although they forced each other to this Shahe along the way, victory is a matter of time.But compared to defeating such a force, or defeating the main force of China like the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army participating in the battle will undoubtedly enjoy the honor brought by the latter.It's a pity that Matsui was ordered to be the lieutenant general and the commander, so they could only obey the order and continue to fight the militiamen running around in front of them.

It's a pity that they originally thought that the main force of the Fourth Division had left, and those who had been beaten had lost their ability to resist and only knew about the militia troops running for their lives.After the Fourth Division leaves, they will take the initiative to launch a war of encirclement and annihilation against them.After the Japanese Army's North China Garrison Command reacted, the entire North China Eastern Front had suffered casualties.Although those county towns were finally lost because Deng successfully evacuated them and didn't want them, they were lost and regained.But they have lost their last chance to wipe out the North China militia column.

Just when the main force of the Fourth Division and Sasaki's Xingtai garrison were heading towards Xingtai with all their strength, the militia motorized infantry brigade and tens of thousands of attached troops who had arrived at Shaheba ahead of schedule began to move along the terrain of Shaheba. Preparations for building an ambush fortification.Waiting for the ending of the main force of the Fourth Division, I am afraid it will not be too satisfactory!

Compared with the Japanese army's anger towards the Eighth Route Army troops, the commander of the 129th Division who also received the telegram was confused. After gathering in the conference room, he saw the inquiry telegrams sent from all over the place.Immediately, Commander Liu Bo and Political Commissar Deng Ping guessed that the credit for liberating Xingtai, an important military base in North China, was all done by the guy who just left their station yesterday.

But what made them even more curious was how the militia column, which was heavily surrounded by the Japanese army, took Xingtai, which was heavily guarded by the Japanese army, in one night?

Compared with the credit that fell from the world, they are more curious about how Deng Chenggong won Xingtai.You must know that this kind of siege warfare is something that the Eighth Route Army troops dare not think about at all, but it is unreasonable for people to not be confused now.
