Bandits or devils robbed the Jinsui Army and the Central Army Bank.
After fermentation and brewing, waves of craze arose.
But it quickly returned to calm.
The reason is simple, this is not a big farce.
It was soon completely obscured by another big storm.
From the end of the twelfth lunar month.
That is, it starts on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.
It was as if to confirm Kong Jie and Zhao Gang's speculations.
The Japanese army suddenly closed the network, with Taiyuan City as the general command center and Yangquan County as the first flash point of the network closing operation.
The scope covers Yangquan, Ping'an County, Shouyang County, Bianding Town, Tan County, Taigu, Zhangzhuang and other counties, villages and towns, and even includes the surrounding areas of Taiyuan City.
Tan County.
As the starting point of the large-scale robbery trend, it can be said that the area around Yangquan was the most tragically robbed county.
Not only bandits have visited this place, but also the Jinsui Army, local warlords, and the Eighth Route Army.
And visited more than once.
What's the end result?
The Japanese and puppet banks in Tan County were so frightened that they did not even dare to open for business within the next week and simply chose to close temporarily.
Good guy, who dares to open the door?
I heard that a bank can be robbed up to five or six times in one day.
The bandits, Jinsui Army, and Central Army don't care whose bank it is.
Some private banks were even robbed and bankrupted.
The banks opened by the Japanese and puppet troops could not withstand such a torment, so they had no choice but to close their doors.
This will naturally cause considerable damage to the credibility of the Japanese and puppet banks.
But the little devil can't control that much.
Until the 27th, a national army even broke into Tan County, preparing to grab it again outside Tan County.
This is really hitting the target.
In order to deploy this large net against the robbery forces from all sides, the Japanese and puppet troops have been keeping calm on the surface these days, and even, as Zhao Gang said, deliberately sacrificed materials and cash from some villages and towns as bait, just to numb these people who are still immersed in Robbery the bandits, the Central Army, and the Shanxi-Sui Army in joy.
But in fact, the little devil was secretly trying to hide the truth from Chen Cang.
Privately, they have been continuously sending additional troops to the major counties around Yangquan.
Prepare to accumulate strength and launch a counterattack in one fell swoop.
The afternoon of the 27th was when the counterattack officially kicked off.
The national army team that broke into Tan County was just about to rob supplies in the city gate area, and then found that the team was surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops.
When they broke in, there were only a few Japanese soldiers and a dozen puppet soldiers guarding the city gate, but at some point a large number of Japanese troops appeared.
The light and heavy machine guns were set up behind the fortifications of the city gate and on top of the city wall, aiming at the national army who were still immersed in robbery.
A turtle-in-a-jar battle.
Intensive gunshots and artillery fire shot up into the sky, resounding inside Tan County for about ten minutes, and then calmed down again.
In the end, no one in the national army of more than 300 people could come out alive from the gate of Tan County.
Yangquan.
As the starting point of this major Japanese counterattack.
The reversal of the situation is quite exaggerated.
Several bands of bandits, national troops, and Jinsui troops who broke into the vicinity of Yangquan that day plunged directly into the trap set by the Japanese and puppet troops, and then the Japanese and puppet troops violently counterattacked.
The two sides fell into fierce fighting.
Realizing that the era of robbery was gone forever and only the trap in front of them was left, the robbery teams from all sides fought desperately and only a small part escaped.
Then, the news quickly spread in northwest Shanxi:
The Japanese and puppet troops have begun to counterattack and rob armed forces.
Not only that, the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan destroyed and defeated the invading bandits, the National Army, the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army.
It seems like this is just the beginning.
Then, a large number of Japanese and puppet troops suddenly poured out from inside Yangquan County, as if planned in advance, and took advantage of the approaching evening to counterattack the surrounding villages and towns.
There are common people in these villages and towns.
It's just that around Yangquan, in the villages and towns captured by Kong Jie's independent regiment during the wave of robberies, the people have been moved by Kong Jie to the vicinity of the independent regiment's headquarters.
So only the empty village was left.
Except for the villages and towns captured by the independent regiment.
Around Yangquan, there are also villages and towns captured by the National Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army.
The counterattack of the Japanese and puppet troops in Yangquan was too fierce.
As a result, these Jinsui Army and National Army troops had no time to withdraw from the villages and towns.
Along with the people, they were trapped and died in the villages and towns, trapped in a bitter battle.
Not only Yangquan, the situation in the surrounding major counties is basically the same.
The Japanese counterattack came too suddenly, and the robbery forces from all sides were as usual, preparing to enter the Japanese-occupied areas and continue to rob!
Even if they didn't have this plan, they didn't realize that they needed to shrink their troops and retreat in time, and they were still stationed in villages and towns closer to the main counties controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops.
After the Japanese army suddenly counterattacked, these troops had no time to retreat and were directly bitten by the Japanese.
Only the situation on the Eighth Route Army side was much better.
Not long ago, after Li Wenjie reported the news to the brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander analyzed the intelligence at hand and immediately concluded:
The Japanese and puppet troops are indeed brewing a conspiracy and preparing to launch a major counterattack.
Therefore, the brigade headquarters immediately reported the situation to the headquarters.
The headquarters issued an order for all attacking forces to immediately shrink their forces, move the masses, and use defense as offense.
Not only that, due to reminders from friendly forces, the Eighth Route Army headquarters also sent messages to the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army.
However, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army did not seem to pay attention to this matter.
In fact, the Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army headquarters did convey the news to the various units under their jurisdiction that the Japanese army might launch a counterattack in the near future.
But I don’t know what the officers at the Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army headquarters think.
They just issued such an order, but did not require all troops to retreat immediately.
Instead, the decision of when to withdraw was given to the front-line commanders of the troops.
As the saying goes: "Proceed with caution and wait for an opportunity to retreat!"
Perhaps he wanted to take advantage of the Eighth Route Army's retreat to make another profit.
In the end, when the Japs launched a counterattack, there were only some outstanding commanders from the Jinsui Army and the Central Army. The sense of smell is relatively sensitive, so you can detect danger and evacuate in time.
Most of the remaining miscellaneous teams are in crisis.
Among these outstanding commanders is Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Chu Yunfei also led his team to participate in the robbery.
In Chu Yunfei’s original words:
"No matter what troops are dealing with the Japanese and puppet troops, no matter what method they use.
Our 358th Regiment is definitely going to help out, even if it’s a robbery, it’s the same thing. "
Unlike other Jinsui Army troops, Chu Yunfei's participation in this robbery spree was not really for the few supplies and equipment the Japanese had on hand.
To be honest, with the 358th Regiment's excellent equipment, Colonel Chu didn't look down on the Sangualiangzao in the Japanese-occupied area at all.
It's just to comply with the upsurge of robbery and deal with the Japanese and puppet troops.
Just before the news from the Shanxi-Sui Army commander's headquarters arrived, Chu Yunfei was also alert to the Japanese counterattack.
Afterwards, without saying a word, Chu Yunfei immediately retracted his troops back to their base to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking.
Therefore, this major counterattack by the Japanese army did not cause any major damage to the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
…
New Second Regiment Headquarters.
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong discussed the next military action plan.
In response to the change in the situation, Kong Jie even expressed his position: "These Jinsui Army and Central Army troops are stupid.
I heard that after they were stationed in the surrounding villages and towns, strict orders were issued not to allow the people in the villages and towns to leave at will.
It doesn't matter if it harms you, it also harms the people in the villages and towns.
Lao Li, we can't wait any longer. We can ignore the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, but we can't sit idly by and ignore the people.
We must act immediately to rescue the people in the surrounding villages and towns first. "
"Okay!" Li Yunlong responded.
Then the two of them took it together and realized that the Japanese counterattack was more violent than everyone imagined, and there were many places where people needed to be rescued.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie notified Ding Wei, the leader of the new regiment, and the three of them planned the matter together...
