Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

As officers of the garrison regiment, they are naturally more knowledgeable than ordinary soldiers.A main division of the Eighth Route Army dared to ambush a division of the little devil.This sounds a bit unreal!

Since the Anti-Japanese War, when many anti-Japanese troops faced Japanese divisions, they often failed to win against a division.Can one division of the Eighth Route Army defeat a division of the Japanese army?

'nonsense!Do I dare to talk nonsense about such things?General Li personally sent someone to report this news.I couldn't figure out why the little devils didn't attack when they got under our noses before, but I dare say they have also received the news.

As the news of the No.13 Division being wiped out spread, these little devils who came to us also began to worry about being surrounded and wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.You know, the Eighth Route Army that came from Shaanxi and Shanxi this time has three main divisions! '

Instead of cheering up the soldiers at the grassroots level, it is better to give these officers in charge of commanding operations a little more confidence.Let them know that staying in Zhengzhou and fighting against the little devils is not without hope of victory.

As a soldier, who doesn't want to win?Once they can repel the little devil's attack this time, let's not talk about whether the national government will reward them.At least in front of the people of Zhengzhou and their hometown, they can also raise their heads and behave as human beings.

When the common people saw them in the future, they wouldn't laugh at them for only eating food and carrying guns, but they didn't dare to fight the little devils anymore.Naturally, these grassroots officers don't want to miss out on such an honor opportunity that belongs to soldiers!

As expected by the Eighth Route Army, the accident of the No.13 division greatly shocked the two divisions still attacking on the front line.The No.18 Division, which had fought with the First Division for a long time, even directly ordered the defense to rest on the spot.

Originally, the No.13 division of the front army transferred back to Xinyang, and many reasons were also due to the shortage of their supplies.Now the division with high hopes is wiped out, which means that the situation in the rear will become worse.

Although they are still in Zhumadian at the moment, they are not far from the rear occupied area.But the generals of the No. 18 Division knew that their rear occupied area was far more dangerous than expected.

Even through the battle between Macheng and Tianmu Mountain, the Japanese army can basically confirm it.In the Battle of Wuhan that ended earlier, the Eighth Route Army may have lost much less troops than they had imagined, and it was only hidden after the war.

Now that they are raising troops to attack the hinterland of Henan, these low-key and hidden Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to come out.In this way, it is almost impossible to occupy the entire territory of Henan with the strength of the remaining two divisions.

The consecutive days of attacks have made the No. 18 Division feel the combat effectiveness of the First Division of the New 67th Army, which is far stronger and more tenacious than they imagined.After a few days of attacking, they consumed an astonishing amount of ammunition.

If there is no supply of ammunition delivered from the rear, the No.18 Division will also face the embarrassing situation of having no ammunition.Even the ammunition of the rifle machine gun, they have to save a little in the future, so how dare they attack regardless of consumption.

The No. 18 Division took the lead in ending the offensive and rested on the spot, and even contacted the rest of the No. 13 Division, which was left behind. The two troops planned to merge together.Once the front army makes a decision to withdraw, they will return to Anhui together.

For the No.18 Division's approach, the Front Army Command did not criticize anything.But when they stopped, it undoubtedly poured cold water on them for the No.14 division who was preparing to enter Zhengzhou at this moment.

If you continue to attack Zhengzhou, you may be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.Abandoning the attack on Zhengzhou means that they will return without success this time.Doihara was really not reconciled to spending so much manpower and material resources, and finally became a day trip to Zhengzhou.

In fact, not only Doihara was not reconciled, but other Japanese generals who planned the Henan war were also not reconciled.But not reconciled, they are also very clear that the current situation is already very unfavorable to them.

Compared with the Japanese army's dilemma at this moment, the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which rushed rapidly from Jiaozuo and Xinxiang, seemed to be full of fighting spirit.They all know that now they need to compete with the little devil for time.

Regardless of whether the little devil retreats or advances next, they must fight the little devil as soon as possible.Otherwise, it would be a pity that they were transferred here from the Shanxi battlefield and didn't have a fight with the little devil!

The main regiment of the 116th Division, which was in charge of rushing to Zhengzhou, received a telegram from the division headquarters. The regiment leader and the political commissar of the regiment also mobilized the troops in a timely manner, allowing the officers and soldiers of the regiment to speed up to Zhengzhou City again starry night.

Right now, the little devil, an infantry brigade, has already approached the city.In Zhengzhou city, there is only Li Xiangdong's reconnaissance regiment and the attached Zhengzhou garrison brigade.The former has too few troops, and the latter is somewhat uneasy.

"The comrades in the independent column have taken Zhengzhou City ahead of us.Now a division of the little devil is advancing towards Zhengzhou City.We can't let the little devil get ahead of us again.

Comrades, hold on, victory is in sight, we must enter Zhengzhou City before the main force of the little devils arrives in Zhengzhou.Once we enter the city before the little devil, the victory will be ours. '

Some officers and soldiers responsible for political propaganda also boosted the morale of the soldiers at the right time.Speaking of which, after setting off from Xinxiang, the mission of their regiment was to rush to Zhengzhou as quickly as possible and hold Zhengzhou city.

Only in this way can the follow-up main force enter the city to have a foothold.It can even be said that taking Zhengzhou and defending Zhengzhou, the Eighth Route Army won half of the battle in Henan this time.The next thing to do is to recover the lost land in Kaifeng and Shangqiu.

As for Jiang Dingwen's troops who retreated to Luoyang, the Eighth Route Army's instructions were not to fire the first shot.But as long as they regained the territory, they would definitely not hand it over to Jiang Dingwen's troops.The safety of the rear cannot be left in the hands of such troops.

Even after Jiang Dingwen's main force was stationed in Luoyang and other places, the Eighth Route Army also deployed heavy troops in Tongguan, Shangnan and other places.The intention of doing this is self-evident, it is used to guard against the national government's tricks.

At this moment, the infantry brigade, which also ended its tentative attack, built fortifications in situ, and the troops of the entire brigade were quietly waiting for the arrival of the main force of the follow-up division.Regarding the choice of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army, which was in charge of blocking it, ignored it.

In a word, the Japanese army wanted to wait until the main force of their division arrived before launching a corresponding attack.The troops guarding the blocking position are also waiting for the main force coming from the rear.Once the main force arrives, they will be more confident in defending Zhengzhou.

At this moment, leading the main force of the division and regiment to Doihara in Zhengzhou, he is also in frequent contact with the headquarters of the Central China Front Army.In Doihara's view, there are only three things.If you miss the opportunity to win Zhengzhou this time, it will be difficult to attack Henan in the future!

As many people know, the Eighth Route Army attaches great importance to base areas.Right now, because of their attack, the Nationalist Army retreated, but the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the situation to come out.In the future, the line from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng will definitely be difficult to fight.

Once the Eighth Route Army regains most of Henan, their garrisons in Anhui, Shandong, Hubei, Hebei and other places will be threatened by the Eighth Route Army.Such a result is undoubtedly what the Japanese army does not want to see.

Plans are worse than changes!

Many Japanese generals lamented that when they made plans for the Battle of Henan, they had fully considered the possibility that the Eighth Route Army might enter Henan to have a real main battle with them.But they seem to have underestimated the power of the Eighth Route Army in Central China.

Judging from the current situation on the battlefield, in the eyes of the Japanese army, the independent column of the Eighth Route Army, which was severely damaged in the Battle of Wuhan, is still miraculously continuing to perform miracles.In the entire rear, the rear supply lines of the Japanese army were turned upside down.

'idiot!It's this He Zhengdao again, damn it!How could he have so many troops? '

When the Japanese army was cursing He Zhengdao again, Lao Jiang in Chongqing was also furious.In his opinion, he seemed to be played by He Zhengdao again.The new 67th Army did not suffer as badly as imagined!

Looking at Gu Zhutong and the others who came up with the idea before, Lao Jiang said with a very dissatisfied expression: "Who said that the main force of the new 67th Army is completely lost? If their main force is really lost, how did these troops come out now?

Niang Xipi, their current strength in Central China is much greater than our armed forces behind the enemy there.Who said that the Eighth Route Army should fight the Japanese army in Henan?Give up Henan and let the Eighth Route Army pick up ready-made ones? "

After some questioning, no one dared to say anything.The reason is simple. Judging from the current situation, they really underestimated the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Central China.It seems that he suffered a dumb loss and had to knock down his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

The Eighth Route Army's march into Henan was also tacitly approved by Lao Jiang.Now the Eighth Route Army has repelled the Japanese army and successfully regained the territory they gave up.It is almost impossible for the Eighth Route Army to hand over the fruits of victory it has obtained.

Thinking of this kind of result, Lao Jiang became very angry.In the eyes of many people, the Nationalist Army under his command is not as good as the Eighth Route Army, and the determination to resist the war is not as firm as the Eighth Route Army.Otherwise, why did they give up Zhengzhou earlier?

Even if the publicity is "strategic abandonment", the common people don't understand this at all. They only know that the Nationalist Army abandoned Zhengzhou, but the Eighth Route Army sent troops at a critical juncture, and even repelled the invading little devils.

'Commissioned seat, in the current situation, we might as well counterattack in due course.Right now, the No.18 Division of the Japanese Army is in the Zhumadian area, and our troops in Nanyang may launch a counterattack at any time. '

Some of the generals who were summoned knew that if Jiang Dingwen sent troops to Zhengzhou at this time, it would be easy to conflict with the Eighth Route Army.But Zhumadian, which was just captured by the Japanese army, they have the ability to send troops to regain it.

After all, the troops stationed in Nanyang are the first army of the Central Army, and they are the real elite troops in the hands of Lao Jiang.As long as they are willing to fight the little devil, I believe it should not be a problem to recover the Zhumadian area.

But soon someone said: "Commissioner, I think letting the First Army go up at this time will only reap the benefits of the fisherman. The most important thing is that if you want to participate in the war, it will take time to raise all kinds of materials and ammunition." .

Although the Eighth Route Army now has a certain upper hand, the Japanese army deployed a lot of troops in Central China.In order to ensure the victory of the Battle of Henan, I think the Japanese army will send heavy troops to Henan in the next time.

At this time, I think we should stick to the previous defense policy.As long as the little devils arrive outside our defense zone, and the competition in other places, let the Eighth Route Army fight with the little devils, that will be in our best interest. "

Everyone knows that Hu Zongnan's First Army is Lao Jiang's favorite.At this time, they were sent out to fight recklessly with the No.18 Division of the Japanese Army.Even if he wins, it is estimated that his own strength will be greatly damaged.

Most importantly, many generals of the national army know that the little devil's desire for revenge is not low.Right now they are surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and wiped out nearly a division of troops, and it is impossible not to recover this place.

Therefore, after some debate, Lao Jiang finally maintained the previous decision and continued to sit on the sidelines.However, a questioning telegram was sent to the Eighth Route Army, accusing the New 67th Army of committing the crime of falsely reporting war losses.

But the Eighth Route Army quickly sent a call to report: "The battle damage is well documented, and there is no false report. The troops currently fighting in central China are all troops that have been rested and expanded by the New 67th Army. This accusation is groundless.

In addition, due to the unfavorable previous battle, our department has decided to remove He Zhengdao from the post of army commander.In the future, the new 67th Army's operations in central China will be headed by deputy commander Xiao Jinguang.Therefore, He Zhengdao could not go to Chongqing to report on his work! "

He Zhengdao was dismissed?

As soon as this telegram came out, Lao Jiang also found it completely incomprehensible.But according to the information they received, it seems that He Zhengdao was really dismissed from the post of commander of the New 67th Army.Could it be that they misjudged again? (To be continued.)
