Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Now that you know that you have no hope of winning Zhengzhou City, isn't it a wise decision to withdraw wisely? (To be continued.)

Chapter Seventy-Five: The Hornet's Nest Is Stabbed!

Realizing that he had missed the opportunity to seize Zhengzhou, he commanded the No.14 division to enter Doihara in Zhengzhou, and decisively took measures to withdraw the forward infantry brigade, hoping to ensure the safety of the entire division to the greatest extent.

As far as the current situation is concerned, a regiment of the 116th Division of the Eighth Route Army has already entered Zhengzhou.This also means that the Eighth Route Army has the ability to fully control Zhengzhou.Coupled with the main force of the division not far behind, they don't have many chances.

Even if Doihara thinks that if he overwhelms the entire division, he may still have a chance to take Zhengzhou down.If it is just such a dozen, Kaifeng, which has just been occupied, will surely fall.Because the 127th Division of the Eighth Route Army has already advanced towards Kaifeng.

Although a little unwilling, as the head of the No.14 Division, Doihara has to think about the safety of the entire division.Once surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, it may not be so easy to get out of Zhengzhou.

What makes Doihara feel most unwilling is that at this time, neither the North China nor the Central China Front Army can mobilize too many troops to join this battle.On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army did not mobilize their troops in the rear at all.

Once this battle falls into a stalemate, the Eighth Route Army will inevitably draw troops from Shaanxi to join the battle.In this case, it is very likely that the Japanese army will be dragged into a big battle.

In the past, it is estimated that the Japanese army would be happy to see this situation.But now, they are also gradually feeling the pressure of military strength and logistical supplies.If you want to fight a big battle, you always need supplies and soldiers, right?

Boss Peng, who was also studying the battle situation at night after receiving the telegram from the reconnaissance brigade, looked at the map and pondered for a while and said, "This old devil, Doihara, is not easy to deal with! If the timing is wrong, he knows to retreat quickly to protect himself. "

"Boss, Doihara is an expert in Huaxia, and he was an old classmate with the one from Linfen!"What's more, he also had a lot of students in the intelligence department of the Japanese army. It is not easy to hide some of our military movements from him! '

Smiling, he replied to Zuo Quan, who Boss Peng said, but actually thought it would be good for the Japanese army to withdraw their troops wisely.In this way, they can also recover Zhengzhou very smoothly, and establish a new headquarters and democratic regime in Zhengzhou.

However, in order to ensure the safety of Zhengzhou, the Eighth Route Army stationed in Zhengzhou in the future, in addition to being wary of little devils, also needs to be wary of Jiang Dingwen's Department stationed in Luoyang, beware of their surprise attacks from behind. <>

Fortunately, according to the combat order of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the preliminary task of this Henan battle is to stop the No. 14 division of the Japanese army in Zhengzhou.Now this combat mission has basically been successfully completed.

The remaining combat mission is to cooperate with the Xuxiang Front of the 117th Division in Shandong and the New 67th Army operating in Zhoukou and Anhui to expel all the Japanese troops in Henan.

In a word, they retreat obediently if they don't leave or fight.In this way, I believe the pressure on the Eighth Route Army will be less in the future.If it is to withstand the threats from both the Japanese army and the Nationalist Army, the task of the troops stationed in Henan will also be very heavy.

After looking at the map for a while, Boss Peng quickly said: "Give power to the reconnaissance brigade and let them organize troops to pursue it. You can't let the little devils leave Zhengzhou so easily. At the same time, power the 127th division so that they can prepare for the battle." Prepare."

Hearing Boss Peng's order, Zuo Quan said, "Boss, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to send the reconnaissance brigade to attack at this time? According to our combat arrangement, the reconnaissance brigade will start to enter after the 116th division and one regiment arrive. Shanxi is preparing for war!"

'Then let the regiment of the 116th Division attack? '

'I'm afraid there will be difficulties!In order to seize Zhengzhou before the Japanese army, Yituan had not slept a wink for two days and one night.If the pursuit continues like this, it is still easy to go wrong.I think it's better to wait until the main force of the 116th Division enters Zhengzhou.

Since the little devils choose to retreat actively at this time, they will definitely send some blocking troops to ensure a smooth retreat.If we pursue them, it will also increase the casualties of our troops. It is better to let the troops recharge their batteries first.

When the main force of the 116th Division arrives in Zhengzhou, they will encircle Kaifeng with the 127th Division.In this case, I believe the pressure on the little devil will be even greater.At this time, I think it should be possible for the 117th division to move first. '

Zuo Quan is undoubtedly quite clear about the situation of the frontline troops. <> While saying these words, Zuo Quan pointed to Heze and Shangqiu in Shandong.Doing so is undoubtedly copying the little devil's retreat.

After hearing Zuo Quan's words, Boss Peng also reacted and said: "Ah! Yes! If you don't remind me, I really forgot. However, the large troops of the reconnaissance brigade don't move, and their reconnaissance units can also fight the autumn wind. !"

'I think Li Xiangdong will do it without our order.Speaking of which, the reconnaissance brigade trained by He Zhengdao is really a good team.With such an army, we can save a lot of trouble and worry! '

Zuo Quan also knew a lot about the reconnaissance brigade.According to the telegrams sent by the reconnaissance brigade during this period, Zuo Quan also really understood that this is a team that can fight well and defend well, and it is very elite both in attack and blocking.

However, in order to ensure the victory of the Shanxi campaign, He Zhengdao also asked the reconnaissance brigade to go north to Shanxi as soon as possible.The reconnaissance brigade has done so many things, Mr. Peng and the others are really hard to keep.

After all, the upcoming Shanxi battle is also very important for Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army headquarters.Once Shanxi is pacified, the situation of the Eighth Route Army in the entire Central Plains will be completely opened.

The troops stationed in these places can also stabilize their local development bases with peace of mind.At the same time, the troops of the main divisions can also take advantage of the trend to advance the base area.In this way, the Eighth Route Army can control more places.

After some discussion, Boss Peng quickly said: "Then send a telegram to the 117th Division and tell them that they can do it. But don't hit too hard at once. It scared Doihara. I'm worried that this old devil will slip away." Faster than a rabbit!"

"Mr. Xu is also a veteran, I think he should consider this kind of thing!" '

Xu Xiangqian, who had just returned to the station not long after receiving the combat order from Henan Qianzhi, also smiled and said: "Okay, now it's our turn to do it. Once the order is issued, we can start operations. Take the first two counties!

If Heze and Puyang receive reinforcements from the Japanese army, order our troops in these two places to wait for the opportunity. <>Once there is an opportunity, attack decisively.First recover some small counties in these two places and form our democratic government. "

'This game of chess is getting bigger and bigger!However, it is rare to have a big battle, it is really enjoyable! '

As a political commissar, Zeng Zhongsheng naturally had great confidence in the Henan battle.As far as the 117th Division is concerned, once the places connected to their bases can be recovered, they will also get greater development.

According to the topics discussed at the Yan'an Combat Conference, the 117th Division will be mainly responsible for the construction of armed forces behind enemy lines in Shandong in the future.This also means that the 117th Division will be responsible for the entire Shandong War of Resistance in the future.

If they can fight this battle well, they will also be able to specifically deal with the Japanese army in Shandong in the future.But what they have to do now is to connect all the scattered bases into one in a real sense.

After receiving the order from the division headquarters, as the commander of Yizong, Xu Shiyou was also very happy and said: "Okay, the order from the division headquarters has arrived, this time we can finally let Yizong fight.

Send a report to the first regiment and the second regiment, and let them start the attack on Fan County and the front of the stage.In these two counties, we have infiltrated many commandos earlier.It's almost the same now, and it's time to reap the fruits of victory.

The rest of the vertical and various ministries are all transferred to the state of preparation for war.The third regiment is responsible for monitoring the Japanese army in the direction of Puyang, and the fourth regiment is responsible for monitoring the Japanese army in the direction of Heze.This time, all the county brigades and district teams were mobilized, and we had a big battle with the little devil. "

As the 117th Division began a real siege battle, the troops stationed by the Japanese army on the border of Henan were undoubtedly completely mobilized.Together with such a battle, it also means that it is basically impossible for the Japanese army to send supplies to the front line.

After a lot of effort, the Sakai brigade, which finally succeeded in joining forces with the main force of the division on the second day, heard Doihara's angry roar as soon as he arrived at the division headquarters.Sakai also knew that the head of the division is very angry now!

Sakai didn't know the reason for Doihara's anger until he entered the headquarters.In just one night, Fan County and Taiqian County, where many troops were stationed, were retaken overnight by the Eighth Route Army.

Most importantly, in the territory of Puyang and Heze, it was discovered that a large number of Eighth Route Army armed behind enemy lines were preparing to attack the city.All of a sudden, these garrison troops who were originally acting as rear guards all retreated back to the city for defensive operations.

Those Japanese troops outside were also attacked by the Eighth Route Army frantically.A group of troops delivering supplies to the No. 14 Division was also surrounded and annihilated by the Eighth Route Army last night. The supplies and escort troops were all looted by the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing that the main force of the Eighth Route Army began to appear in Puyang, Doihara also really realized that the Eighth Route Army had played a big game this time.They sent troops to Henan this time, probably because they wanted to drive them out of Henan.

Once this combat goal is achieved, they will be completely blocked after finally opening up the channel from North China to Central China.For such a situation, let alone Doihara find it incredible, the Central China Front Army also feels that the Eighth Route Army is too ambitious.

It's just that judging from the current situation, in Shandong and Henan, their strength is indeed insufficient.As a result, after receiving the news, Hata Junliu quickly mobilized several Japanese divisions that were originally resting.

After letting them start moving to Henan and Shandong, they also urgently called the military headquarters, hoping that they could raise a batch of supplies for the Central China Front Army in the shortest possible time.After all, how can we fight a big battle without supplies!

For such a battlefield situation, Lao Jiang, who was concerned about the Henan battle, also found it incredible.But he suddenly felt that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have stabbed the little devil's hornet's nest. Next, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army might really fight to the death! (To be continued.)

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

As the 117th Division operating in Hebei, Shandong and Henan began to recover some counties occupied by the Japanese army, the Japanese army in central and northern China seemed to be aware of the crisis.Even though it was difficult to deploy troops, they began to act intensively.

It's just that compared to the Eighth Route Army, which was prepared long ago and passively responded to the battle, the Japanese army undoubtedly seemed a little flustered.And no matter whether troops are transferred from North China or Central China, it will affect their local security control.

Most importantly, to mobilize these urgently assembled troops to the front line, it is also necessary to provide corresponding supplies and ammunition support.As for these things, it is somewhat difficult for the two front armies to prepare for themselves.

Just as the Battle of Henan began to enter the stage of the Eighth Route Army's counterattack, the Japanese army, which had been suppressed by the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, suddenly concentrated its superior forces and launched an attack on Jincheng.This move by the Japanese army in Shanxi also attracted the attention of many people.

At this time, the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi attacked Jincheng again, no doubt trying to open up contact with the Doihara Division again.This move of the Japanese army in Shanxi also attracted challenges from various combat units of the Eighth Route Army.

The first to do it was the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army operating in Shexian County.Although at this time, the Shanxi Dispatch Army deployed the main force of their 129th Division to station in the Changzhi area, the [-]th Division also began to attack some counties in Changzhi.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army, which was in charge of arming the enemy's rear in the Changzhi area, also launched rounds of offensives in Changzhi to support the Fuzuoyi Department in Jincheng, which was blocking the Japanese army.For a time, it seemed that more and more wars were fought around Henan.

Not long after returning to Yulin, He Zhengdao learned that the reconnaissance team led by Li Xiangdong had arrived in Jincheng.Let him take a short rest in Jincheng, help the Fuzuoyi Ministry to stop the Japanese army, and prepare to go to Shanxi.

He Zhengdao, who convened a division commander-level officer of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army to discuss the matter, also said directly: "In order to train our main forces and gain practical combat experience for our newly formed troops, our department was ordered to participate in the Shanxi Battle.
