Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

It is undoubtedly a very taboo thing to suddenly change the combat order before the battle.But they are all old subordinates of He Zhengdao, and they know that He Zhengdao will not do such a thing easily.Since He Zhengdao sent a telegram, I think it has a deep meaning.

The chief of staff who stayed on the side said at the right time: "Regimental commander, could it be that the commander is worried that the little devil will jump over the wall? Anyway, there are nearly ten thousand little devils who came out of Taiyuan this time, and there is also an artillery unit. It is very difficult to deal with. ah!"

On the contrary, the political commissar thought for a while and said, "Why don't you send a telegram to the commander to inquire again! Now the vanguard of the little devil is only less than five kilometers away from us. We must make plans early!"

'Okay, just do as the political commissar said, and send a telegram to confirm this order! '

When the telegram asking for instructions from the Second Regiment came, Ye Jianying also smiled and said, "Commander, the Second Regiment sent a telegram to confirm the order!"

Listening to Ye Jianying's words, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "These guys still don't seem to understand my intentions. Call the Second Regiment and let them think about it. We are going to capture Jinzhong next, and take all these little devils together." It is better to beat them to death with a stick, or to hang them.

Tell the second regiment that you only need to block these troops around Itagaki, and beat me slowly like pieces.As long as Itagaki survives, the Japanese troops from other directions in Shanxi will surely come to rescue him, and we will send their reinforcements at that time.

Wouldn't it be more beneficial for us to let Banhuan call these little devils out to fight us in the field compared to us going city by city to fight against the little devils?Tell them this truth, and they will understand what I mean.

Now that the first regiment has rushed to where they are, let the second regiment block it appropriately, so that the little devil feels pain.Afterwards, to let the little devil know, they must rush to Jinzhong City in the shortest possible time.

As long as the little devils are under pressure, they will definitely order the nearby Japanese troops to rush for reinforcements.At that time, we will focus on encircling and suppressing the reinforcements of the Japanese army.Fight this kind of battle a few more times, I believe that we can destroy the city guarded by those little devils without attacking! "

From Itagaki's abandonment of Taiyuan City, He Zhengdao probably guessed the intention of the Japanese army.Even the little devils in Taiyuan City were willing to give up, which shows that the Japanese army already has the intention of giving up the whole territory of Shanxi. dudu3

Although the Eighth Route Army has now opened up two battlefields in Shanxi and Henan, why not for the Japanese army?

Judging from the current overall situation, the Central China Front Army is busy dispatching troops, hoping to stabilize the situation in Central China and Henan.At this point, the North China Front Army has no soldiers to send to support Shanxi.

If the North China Front Army can still dispatch troops to support Shanxi at this moment, then Itagaki will not give up Taiyuan City.Their troops stationed in Zhangjiakou will not move towards Xingtai, but should move towards Yangquan territory.

With such guesses, He Zhengdao felt that it would be a bit of a disadvantage to fight the Japanese army one city at a time, and it would also increase the casualties of the troops.On the other hand, it is undoubtedly more beneficial to the Eighth Route Army to transfer the Japanese army to fight.

So how to transfer the Japanese troops from each city out of the city?This requires a lure!

For this reason, after realizing that Itagaki was a good lure, He Zhengdao made this tactic of bloodletting and killing pigs.Using the troops commanded by Itagaki as a decoy, they continued to attract the surrounding Japanese troops to support them.

As long as these reinforcements come out, he will command the troops to lay an ambush in advance, and focus on attacking these reinforcements who have left the city to support them.Itagaki felt that he was in danger, and he continued to consume the garrison troops he deployed around the city.

When this telegram was sent back to the Second Regiment, the commanders of the Second Regiment suddenly realized: "It turns out that the commander wanted to use fishing tactics! With the big fish Itagaki as a lure, it would be difficult for the little devil to catch it. !"

After understanding He Zhengdao's combat intention, the Second Reconnaissance Regiment quickly made corresponding adjustments.In fact, although He Zhengdao gave them a certain amount of preparation time.But limited to confidentiality and material reasons, the blocking positions they set up are also very simple.

If you want to resolutely stop it, you must pay a high price.In order to survive the little devil, once he really attacked desperately.If the Second Reconnaissance Regiment wants to block the arrival of follow-up reinforcements, I'm afraid it will not be too easy.

But now the combat order is changed to bloodletting the little devil, so for the second regiment, the combat can be much more flexible.And this kite-flying tactic is also the housekeeping tactic of the reconnaissance group.

The two main battalions that originally served as reserve forces were quickly given another combat mission by the second regiment leader.In the entire blocking position, the second regiment leader only kept two main battalions to block the little devils.

And next, the little devils who came out of Taiyuan City will really understand what it means to be in a constant state of anxiety! (To be continued.)

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

As He Zhengdao temporarily changed the combat plan, the Second Reconnaissance Regiment, which was in charge of blocking the Japanese army, immediately changed its blocking strategy.In the eyes of the reconnaissance team, the little devil's next journey may not be too comfortable.

In addition, the main forces of the first and second divisions that broke through from Yangqu and Loufan also began to move towards Jinzhong.As for Changzhi and Taiyuan, He Zhengdao did not retain many troops at all.

Even some of the cities and towns that are being recovered now are stationed by working groups and troops from the 120th Division.All the troops belonging to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army were pushed forward until the entire territory of Shanxi was recovered.

Although Itagaki had expected it, he heard the sound of explosions and guns in front of him again, and Itagaki also frowned and said, "How many times have you attacked tonight? Forward troops, how is the damage?"

Faced with Itagaki's inquiry, the chief of staff who also felt that the Eighth Route Army's raids were too frequent said quickly: "This is the eighth attack tonight, and the infantry battalion responsible for the vanguard has basically lost its combat effectiveness.

In addition to the warriors who died in battle, there are also many burdened soldiers. I have already ordered the field hospital transferred with the army to carry out treatment.But for some seriously wounded, doctors may not be able to operate on them until we arrive in Jinzhong! "

'Eight times!For the first three hours, there should only be two or two attacks.And this time, they have attacked us four or five times.The troops need to be ready for battle, the main force of the Eighth Route Army should be arriving soon. '

According to the ever-shrinking attack time and frequency, Itagaki has basically guessed that the pursuit troops of the Eighth Route Army may not stay far away from them.What he is worried about now is whether there will be a main force of the Eighth Route Army on the road to Jinzhong.

At least from the information received so far, no large-scale armed forces of the Eighth Route Army have been found in Jinzhong.But through the battles between Lou Fan and Yangqu and Taiyuan, Itagaki already knew clearly that the Eighth Route Army has a strong ability to hide and march.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the Eighth Route Army controlled many villages.As long as these hidden main forces of the Eighth Route Army did not wander around the county town, the Japanese army would not dare to go out of the city for reconnaissance.

Coupled with the recent period of time, the weather in Shanxi has not improved.Planes originally used for aerial reconnaissance also dare not take off easily.Restricted by various reasons, their intelligence gathering work for the Eighth Route Army is indeed in a very difficult situation.

Just as the two watched the troops stop advancing again, a fast horse quickly came straight to the convoy where Itagaki was.Looking at the major returning on horseback, Itagaki also realized that something might go wrong ahead.

'Report to the general, eight blocking positions have been found ahead.Our forward troops and cavalry troops have suffered serious losses. Please also send reinforcements from the general!According to firepower observation, there is at least one main regiment of the Eighth Route Army ahead. 'dudu1

A blocking position set up by the main force!

Hearing this report, Itagaki immediately said: "Order No.11 Infantry Regiment, Field Artillery Squadron and Infantry Artillery Squadron to go to reinforcements immediately. The communication line to Jinzhong must be opened in the shortest possible time."

'Hi! '

The Japanese troops who received the order also quickly began to move.The No.11 Wing, which was in charge of opening the way, also quickly brought two artillery squadrons to the crossing blocking position that had stopped attacking so far.

Looking at the looming lights in front of him and the figure moving on the ground, the No.11 regiment leader who was in charge of the attack also had a headache and said: "Ba Ga, the blocking position set up by the other side is very unfavorable to our attacking troops!"

An infantry captain who was staying by his side also said at the right time: "Your Excellency, the captain, the other side seems to be strengthening the fortifications. I think it hasn't been long since they arrived here, so we should start shelling and attacking immediately.

If they wait until the main force of their reinforcements wants to break through this blocking position, it will probably become more difficult.If it doesn't work, let's ask the head of the division to transfer the heavy artillery unit to cooperate with the attack!

If the opponent has built solid fortifications, it is difficult to pose an effective threat to the opponent with only field artillery and mountain artillery.Only use heavy artillery to attack decisively and force the opponent to get out of the way.Otherwise, if we want to win the front position, we will have to pay a heavy price! "

'Yo breath!Come, report the situation here to the division commander, and the rest of the troops are ready to attack.Even if the heavy artillery unit has not fired, the troops must start shelling, delaying the opponent's action to build a blocking position. '

The second regiment leader who stayed in the position looked at the Japanese army who had already set up an attack camp ahead.He also smiled and said: "The little devil is acting very fast! Such a large number of troops have been sent over in such a short period of time.

It seems that they should know that nights are long and dreams are many.Tomorrow morning, if they cannot enter Jinzhong territory.At that time, our main force will be able to rush over.But tonight, they are destined not to go too far! "

The second regiment leader who ordered the troops to prepare for artillery defense also seemed calm.Even on the battlefield, he only deployed two main battalions of infantry, but he was confident that he could stop the Japanese army for at least one to two hours. dudu2

Although these Japanese troops who came out of Taiyuan City carried a lot of supplies, weapons and ammunition.In a short period of time, they should not have to worry about supply issues.But in the same way, the more supplies there are, the more they delay their marching speed.

At this moment, the second regiment leader already knew that the first regiment that took Taiyuan City earlier had a vanguard troop chasing the Japanese troops who left the city on horseback.As long as a regiment of vanguard troops arrives, the Japanese army will suffer from two-sided attacks.

At that time, it is believed that Itagaki had to send a rear guard to stop the Eighth Route Army's pursuit.Otherwise, if the Eighth Route Army really bites them, I believe it will not be an easy task to escape smoothly.

The First Regiment and Second Regiment of the Second Division, which had already entered the city, had taken over the work of the First Reconnaissance Regiment and began to clean the battlefield and count supplies.As for the punishment of those traitors and puppet government officials, someone will naturally be responsible tomorrow.

But when the main force has not yet entered the city, the two main regiments must also ensure the safety of Taiyuan.When the main force sent by the 120th Division arrives, their two main regiments will continue to advance in the direction of Jinzhong.

For these former independent column officers and soldiers who returned to He Zhengdao's command, seeing Ruo Da's Taiyuan City was recovered by them in such a short period of time.Many officers and soldiers felt that it was cool to fight with the old commander!

Looking back at He Zhengdao at this moment, staring at the map from Taiyuan to Jinzhong, he said: "Give power to the first division, so that they can break through the blocking defense line of the Japanese independent mixed brigade in the shortest possible time. The rest of the second division and the artillery brigade, from the flank Attack.

Before dawn tomorrow, the main force of the first division must arrive in Jinzhong to fight.The rest of the Second Division and the Artillery Brigade also need to be mentally prepared for continuous combat.Once the Jinzhong garrison leaves the city, the two divisions will cooperate to encircle and wipe them out! "

'Yes, Commander!What about these little devils out of town? '

'I believe in the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance brigade. Their two main regiments, one behind the other, can stop the little devil for at least a day.By the way, send the Saber [-]th Squad to let them get used to the battlefield atmosphere of the great war.
