Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

It stands to reason that it is a very honorable thing to be able to serve as the vanguard of the army.But for Yi Tianzhen, the sudden disappearance has been bothering Yi Tianzhen.

At least from the current situation, Yi Tianzhen can basically judge that the main force of these hidden Eighth Route Cavalry should be deliberately avoiding their reconnaissance.So what are they trying to do in hiding?

Listening to Yoda Makoto, Harada Shiro also said in confusion: "Yes! If we say that we have traveled for so long and haven't encountered cavalry or infantry from the Eighth Route, then at least we can see some grazing people and livestock. ?

But in the few flag packs we passed by before, there was no sign of any human or animal activities at all.If this continues, it will become quite difficult for us to resupply here.This group of eight ways is not easy! "

What Harada-kun means is that the Eighth Route Army is preparing to fortify the wall and clear the field, using the maneuverability of the cavalry, suddenly our supply line? '

'There is such a possibility!This may be the reason why we have not seen the main force of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army after we have entered the grassland for so long.As Mr. Yitian said earlier, there were at least tens of thousands of Eighth Route cavalry activities here.

But we have been in the grassland for so long, and my infantry regiment didn't even see any cavalry from the Eight Route Army.They don't show up and don't harass and sneak attack us, so what are their plans?

Now they drive away all the herdsmen who originally lived in this grassland, and they don't want us to have the opportunity to replenish on the spot.If we want to attack Xilinhot, this supply line may be easily attacked.

If there is a problem with the supply line when we are fighting with the Eighth Route Army, it will also affect the attack power of our division.In this case, I think it is necessary to report to the head of the division. What does Yitian-kun think? 'dudu3

The Eighth Route Army is good at sneak attacking supply lines, which is well known to Japanese soldiers.The No. 11 Division, which is sending troops from the Xing'an League right now, has the first confirmed attack location, which is Xilinhot City, where a large number of Eighth Route Army activities are active.

Although the Kwantung Army organized a group of air forces to carry out the bombing, every time the air force arrived, those eight routes would disappear from the city.After the bombing was over, these eight routes seemed to emerge from the ground again.

If you don't send a large group of bombers and only send reconnaissance planes to carry out reconnaissance, you must also be careful of the eight-way ground air defense firepower.At least during this period of time, the Kwantung Army lost many reconnaissance planes.

Compared with bombing those overcrowded big cities, carrying out large-scale aircraft bombing on the grasslands seems somewhat powerless.The reason is that the grassland is too vast, and it is also very convenient for air defense observation.

During the contests in the past few days, the air force of the Kwantung Army has discovered a set of mature air defense countermeasures.As long as a large number of their aircraft groups are discovered, the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the ground will shrink and hide.

After receiving the telegram from the vanguard, Masaichi Naito, who was staying behind with the main force of the division, was also a little worried and said: "Baga, these eight groups are cowards. Seeing our main force entering, they shrink their troops and hide.

However, it is indeed tricky to hold the wall and clear the field.In this case, the supply and transportation of supplies for the division in the future will only require the rear troops to send heavy troops to escort them.Otherwise, the supply line will be troublesome! "

Hearing Naito Masaichi's worry, the chief of staff of the division said in a relaxed manner: "General, I think the Eighth Route's strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field may not have much effect. As long as we push forward a little bit, we can replace it at any time." supply route.

Compared with transporting supplies from the Xing'an League, we can obtain supplies from Tongliao and Chifeng in the future.There are all our defense areas. As long as the materials are shipped, we can send troops to meet them to ensure the safety of the materials.

I even think that if we want to lure out the cavalry troops from the Eight Route Army, maybe we can do whatever we can.After the troops entered the depths of the grassland, organize a large-scale material transportation.But in the convoy, we hide some of the main force.

If the cavalry unit of the eighth route really wants to attack our supply line, then we can carry out anti-encirclement on it.Eliminating these hidden Eighth Route Cavalry will also ensure the safety of our rear. "

Following such an analysis by the chief of staff of the division, Masaichi Naito also felt his eyes light up.For their divisions, recovering the Xilin Gol League is just one of the missions, and the main task of this trip is to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army!

Chapter 44 He Zhengdao's doubts!

When the Japanese army thought of using the delivery of supplies as a lure to ambush the 11st Infantry Division and [-]st Cavalry Division, they were also paying close attention to the marching movements of the No. [-] Division, passing news to He Zhengdao from time to time.

In He Zhengdao's view, the Kwantung Army's No. 11 Division from the Xing'an League must have come for Xilinhot.But in the decisive battle with them, He Zhengdao didn't want to put it on Xilinhot's side.

Compared with the number of herdsmen living near Xilinhot, there are relatively few herdsmen in the grassland areas that the Japanese army passes through today.Before the Japanese army entered, the first cavalry division that arrived there had basically moved the herdsmen to the rear.

In fact, even some herdsmen don't want to leave.But seeing other herdsmen around them leave this pasture in groups, how dare they stay here alone?After all, having no neighbors is a headache.

With the early relocation of these herdsmen, the vanguard of the Japanese army who entered the Xilin Gol Grassland really saw the vastness and desolation of the grassland.Even the prairie animals that I usually see occasionally seem to be hiding because of their arrival.

The daily march looks peaceful and safe.But under this silence, the cavalry regiment and infantry regiment of the joint march felt somewhat panicked.Every night, the little devil on duty is very nervous.

After three days of continuous marching, there was still no blocking or ambush by the Eighth Route Army.In such a situation, not to mention the captains of the two regiments felt strange, but the following Japanese army division commander Masaichi Naito also felt strange.

From time to time, he asked the chief of staff beside him: "How is the air force's reconnaissance situation?"

Faced with such inquiries, the chief of staff could only repeat: "According to our aerial reconnaissance, it seems that the Eighth Route Army's troops operating in the Xilin Gol Grassland only have a large number of cavalry troops.

As for their infantry unit, they left Xilinhot two days ago, and their whereabouts are unknown.We also asked the neighboring troops in Chifeng, and they also found it difficult to conduct intelligence reconnaissance with the Eighth Route Army.

What we know so far is that the Eighth Route Army has gathered heavy troops near Chifeng and Duolun.According to the analysis of the headquarters, they are very likely to want to attack Chengde or other places, but all this is just speculation at present! "

Although the air force has been conducting frequent reconnaissance in the past two days, the Xilin Gol Grassland is very quiet during the day.Even the reconnaissance planes of the Japanese army can see some Eighth Route Army active on the ground from time to time.

However, the number of these Eighth Route Army is not large, and it cannot be called the main force at all.Of course, the Kwantung Army also analyzed that the Eighth Route Army dispersed its troops as much as possible in order to guard against the bombing fleets they dispatched from time to time.

After all, places like grasslands are vast, so if you really want to gather together and march.When encountering a sudden bomber fleet, the troops on the ground are likely to be severely damaged, and it is even impossible to find a place to hide.

'Then in front of our march, didn't there appear any blocking troops from the Eighth Route Army? '

'The reply from the air force is no, but I think the Eighth Route Army should attack us near Xilinhot.The terrain there is relatively easy to defend.If they fight in the field, they have no chance of winning! '

The Japanese army, which has a reorganized division, seems to have great confidence in winning the Eighth Route Army's offensive and defensive battles with them in the wild.After all, in terms of weapons and equipment, the Japanese army always felt that they had an advantage over the Eighth Route Army.

'Yo breath!It seems that we have to speed up the march and order the cavalry regiment to send out more of our reconnaissance cavalry.Let them go as far away as possible to see where the Eighth Route Army is hiding. '

As time went by, all No.11 divisions entered the Xilin Gol Grassland.The main force of the division is also only two or three hours away from the vanguard, which means that it is not easy to sneak attack the vanguard.

But for the 11st Cavalry Division, which was always paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army, seeing that the No. [-] Division had all entered the Xilin Gol Grassland, they quickly informed He Zhengdao and the [-]st Infantry Division who cooperated with them.

As the Japanese army guessed, the [-]st Infantry Division from Xilinhot had already deployed defenses in some hilly areas entering Xilinhot.And this news was quickly detected by the Japanese reconnaissance plane.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army began to build fortifications, Naito Masaichi also said happily: "It seems that our guess is right. The Eighth Route Army really wants to start a decisive battle with us on the outskirts of Xilinhot. If this is the case, then we should rush there as soon as possible!"

In Naito Masaichi's view, he is not afraid of the Eighth Route Army building fortifications, but he is afraid that the Eighth Route Army will avoid it and not fight.If the main force of the Eighth Route Army cannot be found, their dispatch of troops this time will become meaningless.

After asking the Air Force to pay close attention to the enemy's situation around the fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army, Masaichi Naito also ordered the vanguard to increase reconnaissance efforts.If possible, try to send the reconnaissance post to the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army.

It's just that as the cavalry wing increased its reconnaissance range, the Eighth Route Army cavalry unit that had avoided fighting earlier suddenly appeared again.A frenzied pursuit and interception of these reconnaissance Japanese cavalry was launched.

Looking at his subordinates who were in a state of distress every time they came back, the captain of the cavalry regiment, Yi Tianzhen, also said very depressed: "Baga, these damned cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army know how to bully the few with more, and they have insulted the honor of the cavalry!"

Despite the depression in his heart, what Yitian can really do is to reduce the scope of reconnaissance in the face of the ever-decreasing number of cavalry in the regiment.After all, as soon as the scope of reconnaissance expanded, when these reconnaissance cavalry had an accident, they would not have time to rescue them.

After the scouts on both sides started the confrontation in advance.Naito Masaichi believed even more that he was not far from the main force of the Eighth Route Army.Therefore, the troops were also ordered to slow down their marching speed, as long as they safely advanced to the periphery of Xilinhot.

At the same time, a troop also appeared from the Xing'an League area.This force is composed of a part of the Japanese army, and most of the rest of the troops are puppet troops of the Puppet Manchukuo, but this force has a lot of transport vehicles.

The Eighth Route Army cavalry scouts who had detected this situation quickly reported the information to the division headquarters.The commander of the First Cavalry Division also felt a little surprised and said: "At this time, is the little devil starting to deliver supplies to the front line?"

According to the information returned by the scouts, this escort force, which is nearly a regiment in number, seems to have escorted a lot of supplies.In addition, this force also has many cavalry patrolling and guarding.

Although the cavalry scouts of the Eighth Route Army thought about arriving for reconnaissance.However, the Japanese army was very closely guarded, and there was not much actual knowledge about the situation of this escort team.But judging from the ruts, it seems that the importance of the escorted materials is not light.

He Zhengdao, who received this telegram, looked at the map hanging in the combat command room, and said with some confusion: "At this time, it is obviously unreasonable for the little devil to choose the long route instead of the short route to deliver supplies! "

In He Zhengdao's view, if the No.11 Division of the Japanese Army, which is not far from Xilinhot, wants to deliver materials and supplies to the division, it can completely go through the territory of Tongliao, and there is no need to go so far away!

Thinking of this, He Zhengdao pondered for a while and said, "Give a telegram to the first cavalry division and pay close attention to the movement of this escort. If possible, try to avoid implementing large-scale encirclement and suppression tactics against it.

Before finding out what the escorting team was escorting.Try to block the Japanese supply troops entering from the Xing'an League by laying mines and building a detonation zone. "

This time, the [-]st Cavalry Division not only took on the task of clearing and suppressing the Japanese reconnaissance cavalry, but also took on the task of blocking the follow-up reinforcements of the Kwantung Army.In order to make the first cavalry division have stronger combat effectiveness, He Zhengdao also let them carry a lot of mines and explosives.

When the commander of the First Cavalry Division received the telegram from He Zhengdao, he also realized that He Zhengdao might suspect that this was a trap.As for whether it is true, perhaps further investigation is needed to find out!
