I am helping

Chapter 985: When a large corps fights, military discipline must be strict!

  How to deal with it?

  Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and said.

  "I really want to eat up these devils in Shimen City."

  "But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat it."

  "But, it's not without a chance."

  Zhao Gang's expression changed and he hurriedly asked: "What opportunity?"

  If nothing goes as expected, the main force of the Japs in Shimen City and Zhengding County will slip away tonight.

  No matter which Eighth Route Army this group of devils attacks.

  As long as the Eighth Route Army did not surround the main force of the Japs in the Shimen City area, it would be difficult to completely annihilate the Japs.

  After all, in the flat terrain of the North China Plain, the Japanese could escape from any direction.

  Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou on the side also looked at Li Yunlong curiously.

  If the main force of the Japs escapes tonight, I am afraid there will be no chance to completely annihilate and severely damage this band of Japs.

  Because the Japs already know the strategic goal of the Eighth Route Army, which is to annihilate the Japs.

  Li Yunlong glanced at everyone, looked calm, and pointed at the map.

  "Look."

  "If the Japanese retreat directly towards Baoding, we will definitely have no chance."

  "But if the Japanese attack the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region, our chance will come."

  "The Japs from Shimen and Zhengding are going to attack the troops in the Central Hebei Military Region. Regardless of the outcome, after this battle, they will definitely go north to join the main force of the Japs in the Baoding area."

  Everyone nodded after hearing this. The leader's analysis was correct.

  Xing Zhiguo's eyes lit up slightly: "Captain, do you mean that our intervening troops will move to the south of Baoding to block the Japanese's passage to the north?"

  Li Yunlong glanced at Xing Zhiguo appreciatively, nodded and said: "That's right! Once our intersecting troops block the enemy's northward advance, our main force, as well as the main force of the Jizhong Military Region, will quickly encircle and surround this enemy force. , and eat the devil in one bite!"

  Since the Eighth Route Army's equipment and strength increased, Boss Chen has made it clear that a lot of information about the battlefield will no longer be provided.

  In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from relying too much on intelligence.

  If the Eighth Route Army relies too much on intelligence, what if there is no intelligence in the future and the Eighth Route Army will no longer fight?
  and so.

  This time the battle to attack North China was fought entirely by the Eighth Route Army's own strength. This could also show the true strength of the Eighth Route Army and stimulate Li Yunlong's true tactical commanding ability.

  of course.

  For Li Yunlong, having Boss Chen provide information is certainly a good thing.

  Without Boss Chen providing information, Li Yunlong would not have the slightest complaint.

  Li Yunlong would kill the Japanese regardless of conditions.

  "Makes sense!"

  Zhao Gang nodded calmly:
  "However, it now depends on whether the Japanese will retreat directly towards Baoding, or whether they will attack the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region."

  After a pause, Zhao Gang said again: "By the way, there is one more thing we need to pay attention to. The Japanese have a pilot regiment in the Shenyang area."

  "What if our intersecting troops are discovered by a Japanese reconnaissance plane on their way north?"

  "Then the Japanese are likely to take a detour, and it will be difficult for our combat plan to work."

  When large corps fight, battle plans often fail to keep up with changes.

  However, a qualified commander should adjust the combat plan and contingency plan at any time according to changes in the enemy during combat.

  "Old Zhao, you are right, the Japanese reconnaissance planes are also a problem."

  Li Yunlong looked thoughtful and frowned slightly.

  Unless they are marching at night or hiding during the day, it is difficult for the Eighth Route Army's tens of thousands of troops to escape the reconnaissance of the Japanese reconnaissance planes.

  But on the North China Plain, there are not many places where tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops can hide.

  The Japanese still don't know how long they will fight the troops of the Jizhong Military Region.

  "but…"

  "The Japs' reconnaissance planes are not without solutions."

  Li Yunlong stared at the map for a while, then changed the subject and said.

  "What can you do to deal with the Japanese reconnaissance plane?"

  Zhao Gang asked.

  "As long as we capture Shimen City and Zhengding and install radar here, the Japanese reconnaissance planes flying from outside the customs will definitely be detected by our radar."

  "At that time, we only need to dispatch fighter planes to defeat the Japanese reconnaissance planes, and even the Japanese fighters and bombers."

  Although Boss Chen’s radar has excellent performance, the detection radius can reach 300 kilometers.

  However, the radar requires power to turn on and operate, and cannot operate at all without voltage.

  "Okay, let's do it then!"

  Zhao Gang nodded, with a firm tone, expressing that he had no opinion:

  "If the Japanese retreat to Baoding, we will fight the Japanese in Baoding. If the Japanese dare to attack the troops of the Central Hebei Military Region, then we will try to eat these Japanese!"

  "As long as we eat up this group of Japs," Wang Dehou said, "it will have great significance and influence on the decisive battle that follows, and even on the situation of the country's war of resistance."

  Although there are not many Japs, there is a Japs A Division, which is currently the only Japs A Division on the battlefield in North China.

  The Japanese have only so many Type A divisions, and they have to be eliminated one by one.

  At present, the Japanese A-type divisions that have been severely damaged by the Eighth Route Army include the Guards Division, the 1st Division, the 10th Division and the 9th Division, and the Japanese 5th Division has been completely wiped out.

  During World War II, more than 10 Class A divisions were sent to China by the Japanese base camp.

  These Japanese Type A divisions participated in battles such as the Battle of Songhu, the Jinling Massacre, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Battle of Changsha. More than 30 Chinese compatriots were killed in the Jinling Massacre, most of which were carried out by Japs from the Type A Division.

  The atrocities committed by these Japanese Army A divisions are outrageous.

  At the end of the meeting, Li Yunlong glanced at everyone and said in a stern tone: "In a word, military discipline must be strict when a large corps is fighting! Tell all commanders and soldiers that if someone loses his fucking chain, don't blame me, Li Yunlong, for turning against him!"

  As the meeting ended, the staff of the new regiment quickly adjusted the combat plan and emergency plan according to the instructions of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

  On the one hand, the infantry of the new regiment was ordered to continue to penetrate quickly. After passing through Shimen City and Zhengding, they continued to penetrate northward.

  On the other hand, the troops of the Jizhong Military Region were ordered to stop moving closer to Shimen City and Zhengding, and to find favorable terrain to prepare for encounters with the Japanese army.

  Report the enemy situation to the headquarters, as well as the adjusted combat plan and emergency plan.

  Simultaneously.

  Li Yunlong ordered the main force of the new regiment gathered in Yangquan and Niangziguan to immediately set off for Shimen City and Zhengding, aiming to capture Shimen City and Zhengding as quickly as possible.

  ……

  Shimen City.

  Japanese Army Command.

  "Mr. Yingmori, why did you suddenly gather your troops? Is it because the Eighth Route Army is about to launch a large-scale attack?"

  Lieutenant General Seiichi Aoki, commander of the 40th Division, quickly walked into the headquarters, looked at Takashi Takamori and Masao Watanabe in a solemn tone and asked.

  Lieutenant General Aoki Chengichi thought that the Eighth Route Army was going to start a large-scale offensive.

  The 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division are about to withdraw and abandon the Shimen City and Zhengding areas.

  After all, if there is a battle, the troops must immediately enter the combat position and prepare for the attack.

  "The Eighth Route Army is about to launch a large-scale offensive."

  Lieutenant General Takamori Takashi nodded upon hearing this.

  "Is it an order from General Okamura Neji?"

  Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe, who had just arrived, also sounded puzzled:
  "Didn't General Okamura order us to hold on for three days in Shimen City and Zhengding area and then pretend to retreat?"

  Masao Watanabe had been inspecting the defenses on the front line all day long, and he just rushed back after receiving the news.

  Regarding the order from the North China Front Army Headquarters, Takamori Takashi had not had time to inform Masao Watanabe.

  "Things have changed."

  Takamori Takashi's mouth twitched:

  "The 11th Infantry Regiment of our 12th Division encountered the main force of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the Ziyun Mountain area at the junction of Jingxing County and Pingshan County. They were all shattered."

  "Nani?"

  "The entire 12th Infantry Regiment is in pieces?"

  Masao Watanabe and Seiichi Aoki, the two old devils, both changed their expressions.

  Even veteran infantry regiments such as the 12th Infantry Regiment were killed by the Eighth Route Army in encounters.

  Not to mention second-class divisions such as the 40th Division and the 56th Division, which have received a large number of new recruits.

  I'm afraid they are no match for the Eighth Route Army.

  "That's right!"

  Taking a deep breath, Lieutenant General Takamori Takashi's face softened slightly and said:
  "The entire 12th Infantry Regiment is valuable. They let Li Yunlong prepare to surround and destroy our 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division."

  Lieutenant General Takamori Takashi turned around, pointed at the map and continued:

  "After the encounter between the 12th Infantry Regiment and the Eighth Route Army, General Okamura sent a reconnaissance plane flying the 6th Division."

  "The reconnaissance plane flying the 6th Division found a large number of troops encircling Shimen City and Zhengding in areas north of Jingxing County, south of Jingxing County, and dozens of kilometers east of Shimen City and Zhengding."

  Masao Watanabe and Seiichi Aoki, two old Japanese soldiers, suddenly looked stern.

  His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became more solemn.

  Once the main force of the Eighth Route Army forms an encirclement situation around the 11th Division, the 40th Division and the 56th Division, the Locust Army will be very passive.

  "Takamori-kun, my troops are already gathering."

  Aoki Chengyi couldn't wait:

  "When will we transfer to Baoding?"

  Although various divisions have been brainwashing grassroots officers and soldiers with bushido and loyalty to the Locust, the morale of Japanese soldiers has been slightly improved recently.

  But these lieutenant general division commanders are not fools, and they know very well that there is a huge gap between them and the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

  Moreover, the Eighth Route Army was here to annihilate them all.

  I have to hurry.

  If it slips too slowly, I'm afraid the 11th Division, 40th Division and 56th Division will be gone.

  "Transfer in? Who said we wanted to transfer in?"

  While Aoki and Watanabe were confused, Takashi Takamori looked solemn and said:

  "General Okamura ordered our three divisions to assemble their forces and move eastward. After defeating the Jizhong troops of the Eighth Route Army, they then moved towards Baoding."

  Seiichi Aoki and Masao Watanabe looked at the map.

  "Compared to the main force of the Eighth Route Army's new regiment, the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong troops have very poor combat effectiveness and almost no heavy weapons."

  Masao Watanabe analyzed:
  "At the beginning, the 110th Division of the Locust Army was able to suppress the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Force. Our three divisions could easily defeat the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Force."

  "As expected of General Okamura." Aoki Cheng said with a murderous tone, "Our 40th Division is ready to go at any time!"

  To fight against the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the 129th Division, our 40th Division was obedient.

  But the opponent is the Jizhong Army of the Eighth Route Army, so our 40th Division will have to strike hard!
