When the fat man heard that a little devil suddenly appeared in front of him, his expression immediately became nervous, and he scolded fiercely: "Damn, these little devils are really difficult, and they want to entangle us halfway, it seems that they have to beat them up this time, otherwise these turtle sons are not honest" Huang Shuisheng heard that the fat man wanted to stop here in Taizhou and fight with the little devil on the other side, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Lao Liu, didn't the brigade strictly order us not to stay for a long time on the halfway, the Kuomintang stubborn army under Huai'an City is pressing the border, Ge Sanmin and their situation is critical, we still bypass these devils and rush to Huai'an to participate in the war."
The fat man shook his chubby head and said to Huang Shuisheng: "Shuisheng, I am angry when I look at these little devils, you said that they can't hold on for a few days, and what are you going to toss about, you have a point, our main task is to quickly rush to Huai'an City, but we can't care about these little devils who come to intercept us, so let's do it, I will leave a reinforced company of brothers here to deal with the little devils, and you take a group and all the brothers of the special service group to Huai'an City, It is estimated that the little devil who came to intercept us this time did not come for us, but took a fancy to the gold we carried, and Lao Ye was really, he gave us so many things at once, which made the little devil red-eyed and wanted to snatch it back."
The commander of the Devil's Brigade stationed in Taizhou received an order from the Nanjing Command, saying that there was a New Fourth Army team that intercepted the materials that the Imperial Army was going to transport to the Japanese mainland, and was now marching in the direction of Taizhou.
The Japanese army brigade in Taizhou is actually an empty shelf now, most of the teams have been transferred to the Japanese mainland to resist the attack of the Americans, and there is a wing left in Taizhou City, and there is a Wang puppet army to assist in defense, but this puppet army has become more and more weak since the death of Wang Jingwei, and there have been several mutinies, although they have been bloodily suppressed by devils, and the puppet army officers below the regiment commander have changed several times, but the dissatisfaction and resistance in the hearts of those puppet soldiers are getting stronger and stronger, I'm waiting for the good time to mutini again.。
After receiving the death order from Nanjing, the first thing that came to mind was this puppet regiment when the commander of the Japanese brigade who stayed in Taizhou was, and he hurriedly found this puppet regiment commander and ordered him to immediately take all the puppet army teams out and ambush them at Shuanghe in the north of Taizhou City, and fight with a brigade of the imperial army against the contingent of the New Fourth Army Independent Brigade that was about to rush over.
The reason why Shuanghe is called Shuanghe is because the two rivers in that place are only less than a mile apart, both are east-west rivers, there is a wide open land of five or six hundred meters in the middle, and it is also the only way to go from Taizhou to Huai'an, according to reliable intelligence, this New Fourth Army team from the direction of Nantong wants to go to Huai'an City to deal with the Kuomintang team that came to attack, then their most convenient path is to pass through Shuanghe, the river is not deep, the river is not wide, without boats, you can directly flow water across the river, But the open land between the two rivers is not so good, with the plan of the commander of the devil's brigade, a regiment of the puppet army will be arranged on the opposite bank of the first river, in front of the open land, and an infantry brigade of the devil equipped with a mountain artillery squadron will be arranged on the opposite bank of the second river, and the puppet army will first be used as cannon fodder to block the New Fourth Army team crossing the river, and then when they are fighting lively, the devil's brigade will launch a fatal attack on the New Fourth Army to intercept these New Fourth Army teams that have stolen supplies.
The abacus of the commander of the devil brigade was in a hurry, but the fat man was not a fool, and his research on this terrain was also an old man, and when he heard that there was a devil team in front of him, he hurriedly took out the map and asked the scouts: "Is the place where you found the devils on the other side of the two rivers?"
"Yes, we found a group of puppet troops in the open area on the other side of the first river, and a large number of devils on the north bank of the second and the second one, with a total of 2,000 people, and 2,000 and many mountain artillery.
"Haha, that's right, it seems that the little devils here are still quite knowledgeable, knowing that the terrain is available, aquatic, it seems that we have to act for the devils again, I mean leave a team of brothers to feint to attack the positions of the puppet army and the devils, and attract the enemy to the open land, while the large army continues to follow the river to the west, crossing the river at the fork in the west twenty miles north and going north to Huai'an City, if it weren't for the urgency of the brigade, we can go around to the back of the devil team and give him a dumpling, But this time it will definitely not work, we still bypass this group of enemies, rush to Huai'an City, and then say, forgive these enemies will not dare to chase us to Huai'an.
The fat man came up with a plan, using a small force to feint and contain the enemy here, and the large army continued north to Huai'an with gold supplies to join Zhou Wu and his large army.
"Lao Liu, I think this method will work, but I always feel that the troops we have at hand now are not so enough, think about it, the devils on the opposite side must at least have a brigade, and there are mountain artillery to help, plus the regiment of the puppet army, we didn't take much advantage in numbers, and the certainty of fighting is not very big, or send a report to the brigade, ask him to send a team nearby to rush over for reinforcements, and attack them from behind the devils, so that the certainty is greater."
Huang Shuisheng is much more cautious and meticulous than the fat man, and his years of exposure under Zhou Wu have made Huang Shuisheng gradually have a good habit of being cautious and meticulous.
The fat man hurriedly contacted Zhou Wu by radio, Zhou Wu heard that they had encountered a little devil under the city of Taizhou, and hurriedly ordered the third brigade of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army near the edge of Hongze Lake to draw a regiment to reinforce, and said to the fat man: "Lao Liu, leave a team of brothers to contain the enemy, and the large army continues to advance and rush to Huai'an, the offensive of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army is very fierce, beyond our expectations, your regiment and the special service group must immediately rush over to participate in the battle" After the fat man received Zhou Wu's order for him to continue advancing, he said to Huang Shuisheng: "Shuisheng, it seems that you are still right, the brigade wants us to leave a team of brothers to contain the break, and the third brigade of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army has rushed over to reinforce us, you see that if I take my brothers to stay and break the queen, you will take a large army and rush to Huai'an immediately."
"Lao Liu, this is not good, if you want to stay, I have to stay, as the supreme commander here, where can you let you stay with your brothers after the break, so let's do it, our special service group is more familiar with the water nature, or let me stay after the break, you take a large army to immediately catch up to participate in the battle against the recalcitrant army of the Kuomintang, the brigade seat will be impatient" Huang Shuisheng hurriedly said to the fat man, in terms of seniority and level, the fat man is higher than him Huang Shuisheng, although they are all regiment commanders, but Huang Shuisheng knows his weight very well, In the independent brigade, the fat man exists as a benchmark, even Ge Sanmin of the second regiment is not as good as him, this is of course very clear to Huang Shuisheng, who is the least qualified, so when he heard that the fat man was going to personally take a pair of brothers to stay behind and break the queen, he quickly stood up and spoke.
The fat man saw that he was pushing back and forth like this, and he didn't know when he would be able to settle it, so he hurriedly said to Huang Shuisheng: "In this way, select some brothers with good skills and flexible minds from our regiment and your special service group to form a reinforced company, led by the elder of the first battalion of my regiment, Wang, what do you think?"
"Okay, that's fine, I'll listen to you."
Huang Shuisheng is very refreshing, since the fat man said so, he naturally has to do what he said, such a combination is beneficial, and they can give full play to the respective combat advantages of the brothers of the first group and the special service group, just imagine, one is a land tiger, the other is a dragon in the water, the combination of two strengths, the power is not as simple as one plus one.
The elder of the first battalion, Wang, immediately led the order to find the brothers with good skills, and after a while, two groups of men and horses gathered, and the fat man said to the brothers who stayed behind and broke off: "Brothers, this is estimated to be the last battle with the Japanese little devils, the little devils have a few days to jump, let me contain these devils here, and when the brothers of the third brigade of our Jiangbei New Fourth Army arrive, your task will be completed, immediately evacuate in the direction of Huai'an City, pay attention not to fight, and preserve your strength, I don't want to see that when the Anti-Japanese War is about to be won, I will lose my good brothers" The fat man's categorical attitude made Lao Wang and them very moved, and felt that although Commander Liu was usually stingy, he was very humane and very good at the most critical juncture.
When the fat man took a large army and supplies to the direction of Huai'an City, the battalion commander of Lao Wang, who stayed behind, immediately ordered his brothers to cross the river in front of them, and stormed the opposite puppet army position The river on the opposite side is a piece of cake for the brothers who are familiar with the water, under the cover of machine gun mortar fire, Lao Wang and his brothers crossed the river smoothly, they thought that they would immediately encounter a dense rain of bullets attack, but the actual situation was much unexpected by Lao Wang, After they completely crossed the river, the puppet troops on the opposite position didn't seem to see that there was already a New Fourth Army team crossing the river here, and they didn't react at all, and the old Wang, who was experienced in combat, immediately ordered his brothers to suspend the attack, scattered, and hide in that open field.
The devil in the back was in a hurry, and saw that a large number of soldiers of the New Fourth Army had crossed the first river and were spreading out in that open field, and the puppet troops on the opposite position did not stop them, and the commander of the devil brigade hurriedly called the puppet commander and ordered him to immediately attack the New Fourth Army, otherwise they would all be dead t1706231537:
