Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

The first two times were to attack Suiyuan, and now it is to defend Suiyuan.For such a role change, He Zhengdao is still psychologically prepared.The artillery brigade and cavalry units of the independent column are also gathering.

Considering the current serious situation in Central China, in order to prevent the Doihara Division from converging with the Shanxi Dispatch Army, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters finally agreed to He Zhengdao's proposal and dispatched a reconnaissance team to sneak into the Changzhi area to carry out harassment warfare.

Focus on attacking and destroying the Japanese army's logistics supply line, and strive to disrupt the Changzhi area, so that the Jinsui Army can take advantage of it.At the same time, the Xu Xiangqian Section of the 117th Division, which entered the Jinluji area, will also cooperate with the reconnaissance regiment's operations behind enemy lines.

At the same time, after some consideration, in order to ensure that the situation in Xinzhou and Luliang did not get out of control, the Eighth Route Army headquarters sent power to the 129th Division.Order its main force to advance into the Xingtai area and enter the enemy's rear to fight, and support the operations in Jinlu, Hebei and other places.

When the Eighth Route Army made this strategic deployment, in the face of the menacing Japanese army and the Jinsui Army whose forces were squeezed in Linfen and other places, they also had no choice but to ask the National Government for help.

It is a pity that the attention of the Central Army is now focused on the battle of Xuzhou.Regarding Yan Xishan's request for help, the first war zone closest to him could not dispatch any troops to support him.

What even made Yan Xishan a little chilled was that Cheng Qian, the commander of the first war zone, also saw the little devil's plan to attack Zhengzhou on both sides.He also sent a telegram to Lao Jiang, hoping that the Jinsui Army could stop the Shanxi Dispatch Army going south.

Faced with such a situation, Yan Xishan, who had always been wary of the Eighth Route Army, finally said: "Send a telegram to Commander Zhu of the Eighth Route Army, hoping that for the sake of the friendly army, they can help contain the little devil.

If our Jinsui army is wiped out, the pressure they need to face in the future may be even greater than it is now.Since the Central Army has no time to care about our life and death, then we can only find a way to survive by ourselves, we can't just sit and wait for death! "

After receiving the telegram asking for help from Yan Xishan, Boss Zhu also smiled and said: "It seems that Yan Laoxi really can't hold it anymore! Sending such a telegram, it seems that Yan Xishan is with Lao Jiang, so he probably didn't get any reinforcements." , can only let us help."

Hearing Boss Zhu's words, Boss Peng also smiled and said: "The Central Army can't protect itself! The first war zone, which is the closest to them, is probably already panicking at this time. If they feel worried about self-protection, how can they have troops to support Yan Lao? West?

Forget it, although Yan Laoxi is a bit foolish, we belong to the same war zone, and we can't do things like dying.When the reconnaissance regiment's troops arrive, order our frontline troops to launch some probing attacks to cover the reconnaissance regiment's operations.

Anyway, now the little devil wants to clean up the Jinsui army first, and then join forces to deal with us.It would be very powerful for us if the little devil could entangle with the Jinsui Army for a longer period of time.This is a favor, helping others is also helping yourself! "

'yes!Perhaps only at this time, Yan Laoxi will truly feel that we are his allies.It is estimated that it is impossible to count on the Central Army to solve its problems.I hope that after this time, he will really treat us as allies. '

After some discussions, Boss Zhu also quickly replied to Yan Xishan's telegram asking for help.It is promised that the troops stationed in Luliang and Xinzhou will launch corresponding attacks to contain the main force of the Japanese army in Shanxi.

After receiving the telegram from Boss Zhu, Yan Xishan felt a little ashamed for the straightforward agreement without any additional conditions.It seems that he wants to keep the current area, and he should really get closer to the Eighth Route Army in the future.

As far as the Jinsui Army was concerned, the Nationalist Government, which had also dispatched many intelligence personnel, soon learned of the news.Lao Jiang, who received this information, also felt a little unhappy, but seemed a little helpless.

The current situation is very not optimistic.The performance of the two direct line troops on the Lanfeng battlefield also made him feel ashamed.Huang Jie, who had given up on Shangqiu, was even dismissed and investigated under the pretext that the radio station was bombed and he could not contact the first war zone.

Originally, according to Li Zongren's meaning, this kind of general who led his troops to flee without firing a single shot should be handled according to military law.How to deter other generals who are greedy for life and fear of death if they are dismissed and investigated?

It's a pity that Lao Jiang has always favored his direct descendants.What Huang Jie did was a bit hateful.But if he really wants to practice his military law, Lao Jiang is also worried that it will chill the hearts of other direct generals.

It has just entered May, and beacon fires are everywhere in North China, Northwest China, and Central China.Regarding the war that took place in these two places, many people also realized that the war between North China and Northwest China will be in charge of the Eighth Route Army.

As for the war in Central China, the Central Army will also be fully responsible for it.This change in the situation has caused many people on the sidelines to come to a conclusion.That is the Eighth Route Army, whose strength seems to be growing after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

It can even be said that the number of Japanese troops wiped out by the Eighth Route Army has surpassed that of the Central Army in the frontal war.For such a result, many people find it incredible, but they know that this is an iron-clad fact.

A capable army will naturally receive more love and admiration.Knowing that the life of the Eighth Route Army in Shaanxi was relatively difficult, some people began to transfer the charity funds raised from overseas to the Eighth Route Army one after another.

Hearing about this situation, Lao Jiang naturally felt very dissatisfied.But he also knew that, compared with the previous performance of the Eighth Route Army on the anti-Japanese battlefield, the Central Army, which he relied on and trusted, had repeatedly disappointed him.

Under such circumstances, Lao Jiang could only warn Li Zongren that he must fight a turnaround on the frontal battlefield to rectify the name of the Central Army.Otherwise, in the future, as the Central Army of the National Regular Army, I am afraid that it will really not be able to hold its head up.

Looking at the telegram sent by Lao Jiang, Li Zongren said in the same way: "I don't take other people's troops seriously, but feel sorry for the casualties of my own troops. How can such completely different treatment make the soldiers of the three armies use their lives?"

On the other hand, Bai Chongxi, the chief of staff of the headquarters, smiled and said: "From this telegram, it can be seen that our chairman is a little anxious. He fought well in North China, but our fight here is not satisfactory.

It is said that we are a regular army, and others are beggar-style guerrilla troops.But they regained Suiyuan and Datong, and even wiped out an established Japanese army division.Speaking of this, although it is a bit unbelievable, it is also worthy of admiration.

Commander-in-Chief, for the upcoming Taierzhuang battle, it seems that we have to have a hard time with the little devil.The blocking troops sent to Taierzhuang this time were all troops who dared to fight with the little devils. I believe that things like Lan Feng should not happen.

Although we missed in Teng County, the Sichuan army that blocked the Japanese army there for nearly a week is also worthy of our admiration.Now that the fortifications of Taierzhuang have been completed, all we can do is wait for the good news. "

'I hope so!To be honest, I am really tired of commanding so many troops to participate in this battle.Now I finally understand why the commissioner sometimes feels tired and wants to concentrate the military power.

Such a coalition seems to be strong and strong, but in fact there are too many small-minded troops.Any mistake in the layout link may affect the overall layout.In this regard, we are really inferior to the Eighth Route Army! '

'yes!However, I am afraid that the life of the Eighth Route Army will not be too easy.According to the information we have learned, the No. 12 Division of the Kwantung Army stationed in the Puppet Manchukuo has already gone south to prepare to cooperate with the North China Front Army to attack the base of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, the two divisions currently stationed by the Japanese army in Shanxi, as well as other subordinate troops deployed by the North China Front Army.What the Eighth Route Army needs to face next is the main force of the Japanese army of more than [-].This is also a tough battle! '

Although Li Zongren has also considered whether to let the Eighth Route Army deploy a main division to cooperate with their blocking battle in central China.But judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army will not be able to send reinforcements either.

The reason is simple. The Eighth Route Army needs to bear no less pressure to stop them than they do.In this case, if the Eighth Route Army were to deploy another main division to increase the number, the Eighth Route Army would probably not agree.

But no matter what, with Central China, Northwest China, and North China, there is a resurgence of war.The main forces of the Eighth Route Army, which had just rested for more than two months, also began to gather for battle, planning to meet the Japanese army's heavy invasion and suppression.

On the other hand, He Zhengdao, who was transferred to Yan'an at the moment, reported to the chiefs of the central government on the matter of the steel factory, and then returned to Yulin by car the next day to preside over the encirclement and suppression campaign.

Under such circumstances, the marriage application had already been approved, and He Zhengdao didn't even have time to think about the cave allotted to them by the central government. He met Chen Siya and said goodbye after a few words.

As for how long this battle will last and what it will turn out in the end, He Zhengdao is also uncertain.It's just that he knows that only if the Eighth Route Army wins this time, can it be possible to maintain the current good development situation.

He Zhengdao, who even returned to Yulin, was looking forward to the battle with the Kwantung Army in the near future.The shadow of a person, the name of a tree, whether the Kwantung Army is really as powerful as others say, you will only know if you fight! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Lingshi, located in the central part of Shanxi, at the southern end of the Jinzhong Basin, is known as "the main road of Qin and Jin Dynasties, and the thoroughfare of Sichuan and Shaanxi".It is more than 100 kilometers away from Taiyuan, the provincial capital, bordering Jiexiu on the north, Huozhou on the south, Qinyuan on the east, and Jiaokou and Xiaoyi on the west.

As the Shanxi Dispatched Army launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Jinsui Army, this originally inconspicuous county town also became an area where the Jinsui Army competed with the Japanese army.Taking Lingshi means that the Japanese army has the front and rear positions to attack Fenxi.

And this place is also not far from Luliang.The 127th Division stationed in Luliang, after receiving the order from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, began to prepare to attack Lingshi from the side to support the Jinsui Army who established a blocking position in Fenxi.

Considering the importance of Lingshi, Itagaki Seishiro arranged a Japanese infantry unit here, and also attached a puppet army brigade.After a bitter battle, the Japanese army has occupied the most dangerous area of ​​Lingshi City.

Knowing that the Eighth Route Army would cooperate with them in the battle, the Jinsui Army, which was holding on to the outskirts of Lingshi, also breathed a sigh of relief.But for the Japanese army guarding Lingshi, they began to look a little worried.

Even in Jiexiu, the Japanese army also deployed an infantry regiment.But compared to the strength of a main division of the 127th Division, the defensive block line they pulled up is somewhat insufficient.

After receiving the information from the Special High School, Seishiro Itagaki looked at the map and said: "It seems that what we were worried about finally happened. I thought that the Eighth Route Army would continue to hide, but now they finally stopped hiding their strength.

Send electricity to the Front Army Command and ask them to send the air force to cooperate with us in combat.In addition, air patrols were launched in the areas from Luliang to Lingshi and from Linfen to Lingshi.Monitor the movements of the Eighth Route Army and bomb the Eighth Route Army at any time. "

After saying these words, Itagaki said again: "Order the infantry brigade of the 116th Division to garrison Qinyuan, send an infantry regiment into the Liangdu area, and support the garrisons of Lingshi and Jiexiu at any time. Be sure to buy time for the main force to capture Jincheng! "

As the Japanese troops began to mobilize, Dong Zhentang, the commander of the 127th Division, who was in charge of attacking the Lingshi and Jiexiu areas, also said thoughtfully: "It seems that the intelligence investigation ability of the little devil is far more powerful than we imagined!"

When his words fell, the political commissar of the 127th Division smiled and said: "Master, it's better to say that the situation where the Jinsui Army was infiltrated by little devils is far more serious than we imagined. Should we report this situation to Jinsui?" Sui Jun?"

'of course yes!Not long after we received the order from the headquarters, the troops below only received the preparation order.The little devil reacted so quickly, if the information was not leaked by the Jinsui Army, who would believe it! '

Not long after, the 127th Division sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and also forwarded a telegram to the Operation Department of the Jinsui Army.Yan Xishan, who received the telegram, also said with a gloomy expression: "Someone leaked the secret!"

Yan Xishan, who made this decision, knew very well how serious it is to leak the deployment of the war.The Eighth Route Army promised to cooperate with them in fighting and help contain the Japanese army preparing to march into Fenxi.

How long has passed now, and the Japanese army dispatched reinforcements from Changzhi to help Lingshi.If the Jinsui Army didn't leak the secret, I'm afraid Yan Xishan wouldn't believe it.It seems that this time, he really wants to be cruel.

After finding the person in charge of the Jinsui Army's intelligence work, Yan Xishan said very seriously: "About our cooperation with the Eighth Route Army, the only people who know this news are the people in the telegraph room, except for a few people in our headquarters.

Keep an eye on them all and see who they have been in contact with recently.I said that the former Changzhi fell, why did the Japanese army seize the opportunity step by step.Dare to be under our noses, someone tipped off the little devil.Find out, I will kill him with my own hands! "
