Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Although the captain of the cavalry regiment has always emphasized that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army often does not compete with them in a comparable number of cavalry units.As long as the Eighth Route Army cavalry was encircling, the cavalry dispatched was often several times that of the Japanese army.

In this case, no matter how elite the Japanese cavalry is, there will be a situation where two fists cannot block four hands.As for the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, the purpose of carrying out such raids was to keep the little devil from knowing the current situation of the Eighth Route Army.

When the Japanese army was eager to know the situation of the Eighth Route Army, the main force of the Eighth Route Army entered the Xilin Gol League one after another, but began to persuade the herdsmen in the grassland to move.The purpose of doing this is also very simple, that is, to strengthen the wall and clear the field.

After overthrowing the ranchers who defected to the Japanese and puppet forces, and after the Eighth Route Army confiscated the properties of these ranchers, most of the livestock owned by the ranchers were distributed to these poor herdsmen, allowing them to own their first personal property.

Although many herdsmen are reluctant to leave the grassland they are in, the political workers of the Eighth Route Army also said in a timely manner: "Fellow townsman, I am afraid that the little devil and those two dogs will make a large-scale attack. Here we will fight again." battle.

If you stay here, you will die if you encounter a little devil.The most important thing is that the livestock that are distributed to you now may be snatched away by the little devils.That's why we moved you to the rear.

You all live in the grassland all year round, and we will also arrange for you to go to other pastures to graze.There is our liberated area, and there are troops around you standing guard on duty. If you have any difficulties, you can find the local troops and the government.

If you stay here, our troops will take good care of you once a war breaks out.If you really want to come back in the future, after we beat the little devils away, you can come back to herd herds then! "

Looking at the livestock distributed to them by the Eighth Route Army for free, and the pastures arranged for them to graze, these herdsmen did not want to miss such a good opportunity.After all, for those who usually work as slaves to ranchers, the feeling of freedom is too rare.

With the relocation of these herdsmen, He Zhengdao deliberately created the war zone, which is more convenient for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to hide.Lurk during the day and operate at night to ensure the concealment of the troops to the greatest extent.

As for the cavalry units active during the day, He Zhengdao also strictly ordered them to be careful about air defense.Before the main force of the Japanese division entered, they only needed to wipe out the reconnaissance cavalry squad sent by the Japanese army and the puppet Manchukuo army.

If the cavalry unit of a main force division faces these Japanese and puppet cavalry who have thrown into the defense zone, they will not be able to win.I'm afraid that the commander of the cavalry division will feel that there is no need for the existence of this cavalry division at all.

When Masaichi Naito was having a headache because he couldn't find out the deployment of the Eighth Route Army's troops, Duolun's accidental fall finally made the Kwantung Army feel that it was time to teach the Eighth Route Army a profound lesson and let the Eighth Route Army know how strong the Kwantung Army is.

Even if the situation on the other side is not so clear, Umezai Jimiro still ordered Masako Naito to lead the No. 11 Division into the Xilin Gol League area as soon as possible to wipe out and recover the main force of the Eighth Route Army there.

Listening to the cavalry captain's report and complaints, Naito Masaichi could only say in the end: "Don't make excuses for your incompetence! You should know that the situation before the war also plays a vital role in our next combat deployment. .

Next, I will order the No.12 Infantry Regiment to enter the Eighth Route Army's defense zone with your regiment.The next task for your wing is to find the hidden main force of the Eighth Route Army for the main force.

Although we have not found much information here, according to our aerial reconnaissance, the Eighth Route Army has deployed a large number of main forces on the outskirts of Xilinhot.Find out their defensive position and provide intelligence support for the main attack.

In addition, before receiving the order of the division, your wing and the infantry wing are not allowed to separate too far from the main force without authorization.After you attack, I will command the main force of the division to follow up behind you. "

Sending a cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment, as the advance troops of the division, entered the front station of the Xilin Gol League in advance, also to ensure the safety of the main force of the follow-up division.

In fact, Masaichi Naito seemed a little worried without finding out the specific deployment of the Eighth Route Army.At least as the head of the division, Masaichi Naito knew that the opponent he was going to fight was a rising star of the Eighth Route Army.

It can be said that as long as the Japanese troops who fought against him, they did not get any benefits in their hands.Even one of their main divisions was wiped out by the opponent earlier.A lesson learned from the past, how dare he be too arrogant?

Accompanied by the Japanese divisions stationed in the Xing'an League, they finally sent the main force to advance into the Xilin Gol League area.He Zhengdao also felt that the next thing he had to do was to take down the division of the Kwantung Army that had entered the Xilin Gol League.

Even now, the Kwantung Army has assembled a lot of troops in the Chifeng area.But he believed that with the existence of the Second Infantry Division and the Fourth Infantry Division, it would not be easy for the Japanese troops there to enter the Xilin Gol League.

As long as he finds the right opportunity and kills the No. 11 Division of the Japanese Army advancing into the Xilin Gol League at one time, He Zhengdao believes that this victory will also shock the Kwantung Army.Let them really realize that the strength of the Eighth Route Army has been underestimated by them.

He Zhengdao, who had already been stationed in Xilinhot City, received a telegram from the [-]st Cavalry Division, and knew that he had entered the Japanese Cavalry Infantry Regiment ahead of time, and he thought he was also a vanguard.For this kind of troops, He Zhengdao didn't want to defeat them in one fell swoop.

On the contrary, he ordered the First Cavalry Division operating in the Xing'an League area to start shrinking the cavalry units under his command, and dispatched small groups of cavalry to harass it.As long as the range of activities of the Japanese cavalry is restricted, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to detect the ambush he set.

At the same time, the armored brigade and artillery brigade that had arrived at Ujumqin Banner also received orders from He Zhengdao.Their two brigades, as the killer force of this ambush, have also begun to enter a real state of preparation.

As for the first infantry division and the first cavalry division, the first cavalry division acts as a ranger, and the first infantry division cooperates.Little by little, the No.11 division was lured into the ambush circle set up earlier.As soon as the main force of the Japanese division entered, they launched a full-scale attack.

As He Zhengdao's telegrams were sent out one after another, the combat troops that had just arrived in the ambush area also hid quietly, waiting for the arrival of the main division of the Japanese army.And all this, the Japanese army who entered the Xilin Gol League was not clear.

According to the information they have, most of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army are deployed on the front line of Duolun.After Duo Lun was taken over, the Second Cavalry Division that captured Duo Lun City also began to move in the direction of the Xing'an League.

Such an unusual movement of troops undoubtedly made the Tenth Division of the Kwantung Army, which entered the Xilin Gol League, also aware that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was coming.It seems that whoever wins and loses in the next battle can only be discussed after the battle is over! (To be continued.)

Chapter 43 The supply line is in trouble!

With the No.11 Division of the Kwantung Army, finally sent two regiments into the Xilin Gol League. ?Many people who have paid attention to this battle know that the collision between the Eighth Route Army and the Kwantung Army might not take too long.

Anyone who knows the history of the No.11 division knows that this division is considered a relatively elite first-class division in the sequence of Japanese divisions.Even before it was stationed in Manchukuo, this division also participated in the Songhu Battle.

Such a reorganized elite division went all the way south from the Xing'an League to wipe out the Eighth Route Army.How the Eighth Route Army, which has already recovered the Xilin Gol League, will respond next has become a matter of concern and expectation for many people.

Although the Xilin Gol League area where the two armies fought, many people in the country are not very clear.But the people of Huaxia knew that this was the first time the Huaxia army launched an offensive on the Kwantung Army defense area since the fall of the Northeast.

If it can be defeated, it may break the Kwantung Army's invincible rhetoric.Even Lao Jiang, who was far away in Chongqing, also seemed a little entangled when he received this information, but he still hoped that He Zhengdao could make new contributions.

Now that the Anti-Japanese War has been fought, Lao Jiang has really realized that the little devil is not without disadvantages.At least in his opinion, the anti-war plan of exchanging space for time has initially achieved results, and the little devil has now begun to decline.

On the contrary, the elite national army under his command would suffer losses in front of the Japanese army every time.But it is undeniable that the combat effectiveness of these troops has also improved rapidly. After many bloody battles, there are many more troops with actual combat experience.

Although Lao Jiang is very afraid of the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army.But he was even more angry with the little devil, even if he suffered such a big fall at the hands of the Eighth Route Army last year, he still refused to let him go this year, and still planned to attack the Kuomintang-controlled area in Hunan.

As the saying goes, 'a rabbit bites people when it is in a hurry', not to mention that he is still a dignified leader of a country.In the face of the Japanese army's pressing step by step, Lao Jiang also planned to fight a real battle with the little devil this year.

As someone told him, if they retreated further, it is estimated that the popular support they had accumulated in the early years would be almost lost.Now that the Eighth Route Army has deployed in the south, how can he just sit idly by?

How to accumulate popular support?

The only way to win the battle is to let the common people know that they are not vegetarians.Even if it was exhausted, Lao Jiang planned to have a real fight with the little devil on the battlefield of the Changsha battle.

He Zhengdao, who had already led the army to fight, naturally had no time to take care of the situation in the south.He believes that the Central China Bureau, which took root in Central China last year, should know that this is the best time for them to expand their influence in the south. dudu1

As long as there are Japanese troops, He Zhengdao feels that the Eighth Route Army should send armed forces behind the enemy to start work.At least He Zhengdao didn't want to give the little devils too much time to govern the south and let them plunder the wealth of the south.

For such a suggestion, Taizu and others also felt that it was very necessary.The New Fourth Army, which is still in southern Anhui, even deployed a main division and began to advance into the southern Jiangxi area occupied by the Japanese army, intending to rebuild the southern Jiangxi Soviet area.

Even the Southern Jiangxi Soviet Area was severely damaged by the Nationalist Government after the Long March.But He Zhengdao believed that when the Japanese invaded and occupied southern Jiangxi, if the Eighth Route Army could show up, the people in the Soviet area would also feel very relieved.

He Zhengdao felt that there was no conflict between the attack on the Japanese invaders and the development of base areas behind the enemy.It's just that developing bases in enemy-occupied areas in the south requires more caution than in the north.The reason is that there are also many armed forces of the national army there.

Fortunately, Yan'an is also aware that it is not yet time to completely turn against the Nationalist government.Therefore, as long as the Nationalist Army's armed forces behind the enemy do not provoke, the Eighth Route Army armed behind the enemy will also treat it as friendly troops.

Worst of all, the strategy of keeping the water in the well and the water in the river also avoids the friction between the two armies behind the enemy lines to the greatest extent, and finally let the little devil go for a bargain.But the focus of the Eighth Route Army's development is still in the north.

The reason is simple. The National Government's rule over the South for many years has given it a very high popularity and recognition in the South.In contrast, in the war-torn northern region, the influence of the national government is extremely low, which is conducive to the development of ambitions!

After the focus is clarified, when the Eighth Route Army formulates the overall combat deployment, it is natural to go north first and then south.The highlight of the Eighth Route Army this year was He Zhengdao commanding the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to formally launch an attack on the Kwantung Army.

The raid on the Xilin Gol League was just an appetizer to regain the Northeast.As the commander-in-chief of this battle, He Zhengdao also didn't want to burn this fire too much.It really drove the Kwantung Army into a hurry, and it was not a good thing for the Eighth Route Army.

Even if the Eighth Route Army is currently carrying out various exhibitions very smoothly, but the time for its rise is too short, and it will take a certain amount of time to digest the energy of all the liberated areas.And time was exactly what He Zhengdao hoped to gain by working hard at every step.

When the cavalry infantry unit of the No.11 Division finally safely entered the Xilin Gol League area.The Japanese army, who had been marching for half a day, seemed somewhat surprised.The reason is that this grassland seems to be too quiet.

As the captain of the Pioneer Alliance, Harada Shiro also felt that something was wrong with this situation.Ask someone to bring in Makoto Yoda, the captain of the cavalry regiment who marched with the infantry regiment, to discuss the current weird situation together. dudu2

During the brief rest of the troops, Harada Shiro also said sincerely: "Yida-kun, did our scouts find anything?"

Facing Harada's question, Yi Tianzhen shook his head and said: "No! I have placed the scout post ten miles away, but I still haven't found the main force of the Eighth Route. However, around our army, there are many Eighth Route scouts around Activity.

It's just that when our scouts arrive, most of these cavalry squads on the Eighth Route will avoid fighting.It seems that this time we want to find the main force of the Eight Routes, it is also a relatively difficult thing! "
