Anti-Japanese Special Forces Through Time and Space

Chapter 34 Battle of Pingxingguan

Looking at the energetic members of the Fangs Special Forces, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said: "You have worked hard, go down and have a rest! There will be tasks for you later!" Zhang Lieyang returned to his temporary office.Back in the office, Zhang Lieyang looked at the calendar on the table and came to the map. After looking at it for a while, Zhang Lieyang secretly calculated: "It will take about three days from here to Pingxingguan! Since I have crossed here, I will Teach the little devil a good lesson!" Thinking of this, Zhang Lieyang said lightly: "I'm coming to Pingxingguan!"

While Zhang Lieyang was muttering to himself, Li Mutian walked in and said, "I just received an order for the 55th Army to redeploy Zhengzhou, and our new No. 13th Army has become a mobile force interspersed along the banks of the Yellow River."

Because at this time, the Japanese army put the entire goal on the Battle of Songhu, so the pressure on the entire North China was immediately reduced a lot.That's why Zhang Lieyang's new thirteenth army was replaced from the first-line defensive position, so that they could speed up training and replenishment.

Hearing Li Mutian's words, Zhang Lieyang said happily: "God helped me!" Zhang Lieyang pointed to the map and said to Li Mutian: "Old Li, look at our current position. We now have three complete Builder, I wonder if we can work flexibly during this spare time!"

"Lieyang, tell me how to fight. I, Li Mutian, are not as good as you in terms of battle command. Tell me!" Li Mutian said seriously.

"I just got the news that the devils are going to march westward along Pingsui Road. If they occupy Datong, I guess they will split into two groups and attack from Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass. I want to lead the troops to eat all the devils along the way! What do you think?" Zhang Lieyang looked at Li Mutian seriously as he spoke.

After thinking for a while, Li Mutian said: "We are about three days away from Pingxingguan. After the handover is over, you and Chief of Staff Liu will go to see the terrain together! If the terrain is suitable, we will fight!"

"Okay! What I want is your words!" After speaking, Zhang Lieyang turned around, picked up the phone, called Liu Fengming to his office, and said, "Chief Liu, I will give you a mission now. Tomorrow you will lead the special forces team to set off secretly! Give me the investigation and survey of the terrain along the Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass! I want to take revenge there!"

"Don't worry! As long as the military seat fights devils, I, Liu Fengming, have nothing to say, and I will fully support it!" Liu Fengming said with a smile.

Ten days later, after the handover, Zhang Lieyang left Zhengzhou with his troops and hid not far from Zhengzhou!In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of September. Not long after the news of the Japanese occupation of Datong came, Liu Fengming joined the Special Forces and Zhang Lieyang. Liu Fengming took a sip of water and said, "The terrain along the Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass is completely suitable for ambush warfare! It is a natural What a battlefield!"

"Okay!" After speaking, Zhang Lieyang was about to call Song Yuanzhe immediately.Song Yuanzhe picked up the phone and said, "Lieyang, what's the matter with you calling me?"

"Commander! I want to avenge the dead brothers of the 29th Army! I have already found a target for revenge! I hope the commander can agree to my revenge plan!" Zhang Lieyang said seriously.

Hearing Zhang Lieyang's words, Song Yuanzhe was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and said, "Lieyang, can you guarantee that your army will not be eaten by little devils?"

"I assure you, my army will not be fooled by little devils!" Zhang Lieyang said seriously.

"Okay! I agree! Is there anything I can help you coordinate?" Song Yuanzhe asked.

"No, our ambush site is in Shanxi, so there is nothing to coordinate, as long as you say hello to the second theater! I will give you the battle plan before the battle begins! But I hope The commander can keep it a secret for us!" Zhang Lieyang said.

"Okay, before your battle starts, I won't open your battle plan! I'm here to wish you success in this battle!" Song Yuanzhe hung up the phone without waiting for Zhang Lieyang to say anything.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lieyang gathered all the members of the newly formed Thirteenth Army into the open space. Zhang Lieyang asked vigorously in front of the microphone: "Brothers, do you feel useless when we withdraw from Wanping City and Beiping?!"

"Worthless!" All the soldiers said in unison.

"Okay! Then I will take you to avenge the brothers who died in battle, and let the devils pay with blood. Are you willing?!" Zhang Lieyang looked at everyone and asked.

"Yes!" All the soldiers said in unison again.

"Okay! Then go back and check your weapons, and each will receive three days of individual rations! Officers above the regiment will have a meeting at the headquarters!" Zhang Lieyang left after speaking.

In the conference room of the temporary headquarters, Zhang Lieyang pointed to the map and said, "Fang Bisheng, you place the 187rd and 203th brigades of your 313th Division on the edge of the mountains on the south side of the 10-mile-long road from Pingxingguan to Donghenan Township. Liu Sihai, You put your 717th Brigade of the 339th Division near Baiyatai, the 340th Brigade on the left, the 341st Brigade on the right, He Jianfeng at the bottom of the pocket, your 557th Brigade of the 512th Division, the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the independent artillery brigade. On both sides of the canyon, give artillery support to the entire battlefield!" Then Zhang Lieyang said to Li Mutian: "Old Li, we have never been separated since we stayed together! This time, brother, please lead the two brigades of the 557th Division and the independent artillery The first regiment of the brigade also has the whole brigade of the armored independent brigade defending the junction of Hengshan and Yanmenguan, Ruyuekou, whether we can win this time depends on you!" Then Zhang Lieyang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The 187th brigade of the 279th division has Reserve team! At the same time, I took the [-] anti-aircraft machine guns of the whole army, [-] of which were taken by Commander Li Fu to defend the Ruyue Pass, and the other [-] were set up on the commanding heights on both sides of the canyon to establish prevention and control positions!"

That night after the order was announced, Zhang Lieyang quietly left the station with the special forces and ten carts of weapons and ammunition, and arrived near Wuxiang County, Shanxi, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhang Lieyang sneaked into the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at the busy people, Zhang Lieyang walked quietly out of the yard alone.While walking Zhang Lieyang, he recalled what the commentator said when he visited here before, so he quickly entered Zhou Enlai's residence.After a while, Zhou Enlai walked in.As soon as the lights were turned on, Zhang Lieyang was taken aback. Zhang Lieyang quickly stopped him and said, "Vice Chairman Zhou, don't panic! I have no malicious intentions!"

Zhou Enlai, who had recovered from his shock, asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Zhang Lieyang, Commander of the New Thirteenth Army of the National Revolutionary Army!" Zhang Lieyang showed Zhou Enlai the fake certificate of the Nanyang Communist Party that Liu Kaifeng had seen before, "We will continue after you read this. "

After Zhou Enlai took a look at the certificate in Zhang Lieyang's hand, Zhou Enlai asked suspiciously: "What are you doing here today?"

"I know that the Eighth Route Army has just been reorganized, but you are short of weapons and ammunition! I specially sent ten carts of weapons and ammunition to you overnight! When my troops come over in a while, I will send you some more weapons and ammunition!" Zhang Lieyang said while looking He looked at Zhou Enlai and said, "Vice Chairman Zhou, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to look in the woods outside the village!"

Zhou Enlai asked suspiciously: "Since you joined the Communist Party in Nanyang, why did you contact me now?"

"When I was in September [-]th, I entrusted one of my classmates to help me contact the organization, but there has been no news!" Zhang Lieyang said everything that happened in Ningbo, including the guerrillas. Ten told Zhou Enlai.After listening to Zhang Lieyang's narration, Zhou Enlai thought for a while and said, "You stay here for a while, I'll be back soon!" Zhou Enlai left after saying that.

After Zhou Enlai left the room and ordered the guards not to allow anyone to enter the room, Zhou Enlai came to the dispatching room and connected to the Zhejiang Working Committee through a secret radio station.Soon the current person in charge of the Zhejiang Working Committee confirmed that what Zhou Enlai asked was true, and Zhou Enlai, who had settled down, took Zhu De back to the room and introduced to Zhang Lieyang: "This is Comrade Zhu De, commander-in-chief of our Eighth Route Army!" Zhang Lieyang said: "Old Zhu! This young man is Zhang Lieyang, commander of the new Thirteenth Army!"

"I've heard about your new Thirteenth Army for a long time, but I didn't expect how young this army commander is!" Zhu De stretched out his hand and held Zhang Lieyang together.

Zhang Lieyang, who was full of excitement, hurriedly said: "I have to rush back to join the troops. Come with me to the entrance of the village to count the weapons and ammunition!"

"Where is your army now?" Zhu De asked curiously.

Zhang Lieyang scratched his head and said, "Our department is still near Zhengzhou, because our current task is to maneuver along the Yellow River!" Zhang Lieyang said to Zhou Enlai and Zhu De: "I will wait for you at the entrance of the village!" up.

In order to keep it secret, Zhou Enlai and Zhu De only brought the staff from the headquarters and their own bodyguards to the outside of the village.

Seeing their arrival, Zhang Lieyang immediately asked someone to drive the car out and said, "Please check and accept it! Four cars are guns, and six cars are ammunition!"

With Zhu De's consent, the guards quickly climbed into the car. Seeing their movements, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said to Zhu De: "Don't be disgusted, Commander-in-Chief, these are the equipment replaced by our army!"

"You can imagine that we are already very good! How can we dislike it?!" Just as Zhu De was about to continue, his guard ran over with a medium-sized rifle and said, "Commander-in-Chief, Che All the guns on the board are new guns!"

Hearing what the guards said, Zhu De and other senior generals at the Eighth Route Army headquarters looked at Zhang Lieyang suspiciously, and Zhang Lieyang smiled and shouted: "Zhang Xiangchun come out!"

Zhang Xiangchun quickly ran to Zhang Lieyang.Under the moonlight, Zhang Lieyang smiled and said to Zhu De: "Look, Commander-in-Chief, the gun on this soldier is the basic equipment of our department!"

Zhu De couldn't help being envious when he saw the weapons and equipment on Zhang Xiangchun's body.At this time, Zhang Lieyang took another box from Zhang Xiangchun and handed it to Zhu De, saying: "Commander Zhu, I don't know how many people there are in your Eighth Route Army headquarters. This box contains fifty American-made horse brand rolls! I hope You laugh!"

After Zhu De took the box from Zhang Lieyang and handed it over to his guards, he said, "You are really a timely help!"

"You're welcome, Commander-in-Chief. To make it easier for you to transport, I will also give you these ten cars! I have nothing to do and I will go first! There will be a later date!" Zhang Lieyang left after speaking.

Looking at the convoy that Zhang Lieyang and the others left, Zhou Enlai walked up to Zhu De and said, "Boss Zhu, what do you think of this man?!"

"It's not easy!" Zhu De said lightly.

"What if I tell you that he is our secret party member?" Zhou Enlai said with a smile.

"What's going on, tell me!" Zhu De asked anxiously.

So Zhou Enlai told Zhu De about Zhang Lieyang, and Zhu De said after hearing it: "He was the one who led a battalion in Shanghai and a team that strengthened the battalion to beat the disabled devils?"

"Yes! And I have already learned about it through the Zhejiang Working Committee!" Zhou Enlai left with a smile on his face.
