Around ten o'clock in the morning.
Around the 385th Brigade base area, the confrontation between the forward combat units of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army took the lead.
According to the strategic intention of the Japanese military command, this battle aims to completely trap the main combat troops of the 385th Brigade in the base area.
As a result, the Japanese army believed that when they continued to launch raids on the Huangyadong Arsenal, the Eighth Route Army troops of the 385th Brigade closest to the Huangyadong area would not have time to provide reinforcements.
At the same time, it attracted the attention of the entire Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area.
This is indeed the case.
Of course, while the confrontation between the two sides in the 385th Brigade base area attracted the attention of the Eighth Route Army, it also attracted a large part of the Japanese army's attention.
At this time, the Japanese army's two eyes were basically focused on the Huangyadong area.
According to the Japanese army's plan, the surprise attack launched this time was launched suddenly after preparations had been made.
In addition, Chen Yongchun's rebellion and the fact that the intelligence was obtained did not last more than two days.
No matter how vigilant the Eighth Route Army was, it probably did not complete the transfer of the Huangyadong Arsenal in advance.
Taking the opportunity to launch an attack at this time will definitely destroy the Eighth Route Army's largest Huangyadong Arsenal in one fell swoop and cut off the Eighth Route Army's military industry base.
With the confrontations in the past few years, the little devils, who have increasingly felt that the Eighth Route Army troops are well-equipped, no longer dare to sit back and watch the Eighth Route Army's arsenal grow further.
Licheng.
After the 3rd, 9th, and 16th mixed brigades launched a surprise attack on the 385th Brigade.
Originally, there were no raids during the Spring Festival, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the gendarmerie were all on their annual holiday. The illusion of peace in the city was immediately revealed.
The entire county has been placed under a strict military blockade, the entrance and exit gates are completely sealed, and people coming and going will be subject to very strict interrogations.
The entire city directly entered a first-level alert state.
Licheng is the logistics base and transportation hub of the 36th Division of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, which is stationed in Changzhi.
The little devil knew very well that if the Eighth Route Army wanted to draw fire from under the cauldron, the Licheng Logistics Base Camp would definitely be the key target of the Eighth Route Army's attack.
Not to mention that the improvised airport built by the Japanese was within the borders of Licheng.
Sudden transformation.
The original peace instantly turned into military solemnity and solemnity.
The people in Licheng were also shocked.
Only then did everyone realize that the little devils had deliberately promoted during this period that there would be no raids during the Spring Festival, and even the searches at the city gates would be relaxed, and even the curfew would be lifted.
All this is just an illusion that the Japanese are preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army base area.
In shock, although the people were in Japanese-occupied areas, they couldn't help but worry about the fate of the Eighth Route Army in the base area.
…
North of Taihang.
This is the first batch of mechanized combat units to be transferred to the Northwest Military Region where the 120th Division is located.
A total of forty or fifty tanks, including military cars, military motorcycles, and some armored vehicles, headed towards the Northwest Military Region under the personal command of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
As the first batch of arriving troops, the two commanders Kong Jie and Li Yunlong naturally had to go to the Northwest Military Region to show their faces.
In addition, according to the plan discussed by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, during the transfer to the Northwest Military Region, in addition to these mechanized combat vehicles and various equipment and ammunition used for combat, there were also various equipment and ammunition transported in each combat vehicle. A large amount of military supplies and ammunition were carried.
….
These are meeting gifts given to the fraternal troops of the 120th Division. Since there are not too many combat vehicles, the number is not very large, but it is not small either.
In the words of Li Yunlong with emotion: "If someone had been willing to give me such a big gift a few years ago, I would have said nothing and just kowtowed to recognize him as my father. We would have agreed!"
Such a batch of arms and military supplies as a meeting gift are quite impressive.
.
During the transfer along the way, according to the plan, in order to avoid the Japanese blockade along the way, a light cavalry was dispatched in advance as a vanguard force to clear the obstacles before the entire mechanized combat force.
This can not only ensure speed, but also allow the soldiers who mount their horses to ride and dismount to fight. They can also get through the Japanese checkpoints along the way in advance and cover the secret transfer of mechanized combat troops.
The raging north wind continues to blow, and the severe cold of winter seems to be approaching the top.
Thanks to the abundant material conditions of the soldiers in recent years, coupled with the elite mechanized combat soldiers transferred to the 120th Division base area this time, it can basically be said that the resources of the three regiments in the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle have been gathered.
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong naturally would not let the soldiers freeze and starve.
Wearing cotton clothes and a cotton hat along the way, he basically couldn't feel the cold even though the cold wind was raging.
What he ate was canned beef seized from the Japs. Of course, the Japs had insufficient logistical supplies over the years, and the canned beef that was originally pure beef had turned into canned meat.
But it is still canned meat, and the soldiers are not picky. This is many times better than eating leaves and digging roots in previous years.
When resting along the way, you can dig out some smokeless stoves and put on the iron pots pulled by vehicles, so you can have a warm meal at any time.
The whole team stopped and walked along the way.
When necessary, they even travel day and night.
Try to avoid the enemy blockades along the way.
To ensure the concealment of the transfer of mechanized combat troops.
Make sure that you can give him an earth-shattering shock when you surprise Datong.
When it was unavoidable, the vanguard cavalry warriors fought with infantry to knock down the Japanese checkpoints and remove the blocked strongholds and gun towers.
Then the mechanized combat troops were covered and passed quickly, and then the cavalry came behind, even carefully clearing away the traces of the ruts.
Make sure that even if the little devils send troops to investigate, they will never think that there will be a mechanized combat unit of the Eighth Route Army moving to the northwest base area.
…
Northwest Military Region.
The headquarters of the 120th Division had received the news from the former enemy's general headquarters two days ago. The boss personally issued a battle order, asking all combat troops of the 120th Division to cooperate with the mobile combat group of the 129th Division to execute this secret operation. The battle plan for the surprise attack on Datong.
Learned about the changes in the direction of Taihang Base.
The Japanese secretly prepared a shocking conspiracy in Licheng and prepared to launch a raid on the Huangyadong Arsenal.
They even united with the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army originally stationed in Datong and went south to carry out encirclement and raids on the Taihang base area.
The commanders of the 120th Division were also surprised.
Everyone never expected that the Japs would make an exception and prepare for such a large-scale, large-scale operation, and even use the forces of two large occupied areas for joint operations.
….
This is a rare occurrence even on the battlefield behind enemy lines.
It seems that the Japanese were indeed cornered by the 129th Division troops in the Taihang base area.
I also learned that the people leading the team this time were Li Yunlong and Kong Jie. Even the 120th Division had many cadres who were familiar with these two brothers.
One group leader even laughed on the spot:
"If Mr. Li moves his head here, our entire Northwest Military Region will probably become lively!"
Then another group leader lamented:
"Although we are brothers, we shouldn't say such harsh words, but I still can't help but want to say a few words. The 129th Division has developed very rapidly in the past few years, and its reputation has long been spread throughout the world. North China.

In particular, the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle created by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei has become completely famous.
At present, the battle surrounding the Taihang base area,
The 120th Division can even extend its hand directly to the direction of Datong, and even a mechanized combat regiment has been built.
In this comparison, the development of our 120th Division in recent years is a bit inadequate! "
"I know that big head Li very well. Just look at it. If that kid comes over, he will definitely show off to us. Maybe his big tail will be raised to the sky!"
Then let’s talk about Kong Jie.
"This is something we really didn't expect. Among the bastards Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei, Kong Jie was the most honest and kind.
But no one expected that in the past three or two years, hehe, Kong Jie stood up and made a name for himself in the entire northwestern Shanxi. He also directly expanded the independent regiment into the first independent anti-Japanese detachment in northwestern Shanxi. The little devil is howling!
What's the old saying?
Three days later, it’s time to watch with admiration!
Kong Jie’s progress over the years has been huge! "
Brigadier Zhang of the 358th Brigade scolded with a dark face: "Look at all of you, you are all hopeless. The leaders of the 386th Brigade are all capable, so why do you give in when we get there?
As the saying goes, we are poor but ambitious. This time Li Yunlong and Kong Jie brought the mechanized combat troops, most likely they brought all the wealth of their 129th Division with them.
Although we don't want to compare, we can't look too shabby. When we go to respond, we must remember that we must show the ambition and confidence of our 358th Brigade. "
"Brigadier, do you mean to prepare a special force?"
Brigadier Zhang nodded: "This is necessary. Remove a company from our main force and strengthen the equipment of this company.
Don’t show off the old Hanyang-made sleeves and so on, so just use them with all our official, 38-type rifles.
In addition, we seized a lot of steel helmets last time. Don’t leave them in the warehouse at the bottom of the box. Bring them all to create a well-equipped combat force. We will take them out with dignity and dignity. By the way, we welcome Li Yunlong and Kong Jie. them.
We can't let others look down on us, right?
If I don’t look back, Old Chen will laugh at me! "
At this time, another regiment leader reminded: "Brigadier Commander, the comrades from the 129th Division are here. Do we need to prepare special food and accommodation?
….
I heard that the comrades of the 129th Division, especially the troops led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, have great food!
I heard that everyone can eat meat every now and then, and it is said that all the sleeping rooms have coal stoves, so everyone is sweating while sleeping!
Our brothers' troops are here, and we can't let them sleep on those open bunks with drafts from all sides. If our brothers' troops are frozen again, wouldn't it be a delay? "
Brigadier Zhang also suddenly realized: "It makes sense. I think it's like this. We should free up the dozens of best houses in the hinterland of our base for the comrades of the 129th Division to stay. In addition, we should use some of the potatoes specially stored in our cellar to make Yuzi. Take out the noodles and prepare to entertain the brother troops."
"Eh!"
…
Comrades of the 120th Division of the Northwest Military Region are making enthusiastic preparations.
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong continued to lead the first batch of mechanized combat troops.
We have to go all the way from the Taihang Base Area to the Northwest Military Region. The distance is not very close, it is hundreds of kilometers. If we rely on two legs, we don't know how many years and months we will have to go.
Not to mention that in the coldest month of winter, the cold wind is raging.
Even at the speed of a mechanized combat vehicle, it would probably take three to five days to reach the destination.
On the one hand, it is necessary to take care of the speed of the cavalry riding first, on the other hand, it is also necessary to consider the concealment along the way.
Long before departure, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong gave special orders for the team to prepare a large amount of fuel in advance to supply the vehicles.
The horses used by the cavalry soldiers also prepared a lot of fodder.
In addition, the war horse was also wrapped in some cotton coats to keep out the cold, otherwise
Even if the car can stand the cold weather, the horse cannot stand it either.
Cavalry is more flexible, concealed, and more suitable for reconnaissance than vehicles.
Otherwise, Kong Jie could prepare a motorized reconnaissance force to be responsible for reconnaissance along the way and open up the passage.
The cold current was raging along the way, and the entire army chose some relatively remote interspersed routes away from the core areas controlled by the Japanese army.
In this winter, even the little devils along the way couldn't brave the cold wind to conduct reconnaissance.
It is undoubtedly the best cover for the secret transfer of mechanized combat troops.
At the same time, just as the first batch of mechanized combat troops were transferred to the Northwest Military Region where the 120th Division was located, the battle between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army surrounding the 385th Brigade base area gradually became intense and has become the focus of the entire Sanjin this winter. The focus here.
Even the Jinsui Army, which is far away in western and southern Shanxi, is probably huddled under the quilt, waiting to watch this good show!
20th.
It’s the fifth day of the Spring Festival and the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
The fighting between China and Japan surrounding the 385th Brigade base area has continued until the third day.
The fighting area between the two sides gradually moved to the hinterland of the 385th Brigade base area.
The Japanese army launched a large-scale mopping up force. The troops were divided into three groups and advanced in the direction of the 385th Brigade. These troops started from Changzhi where a large number of Japanese troops were stationed. It seemed that the little devils came out in full force.
Facing the heavy pressure of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army soldiers of the 385th Brigade launched layer-by-layer attacks, but they could not stop the Japanese advance. They could only retreat step by step and rely on the terrain along the way to guerrilla.
In three days, the fighting front between the two sides had penetrated more than ten kilometers.
In the sideline area between Jinzhong and Taihang.
After a three-day stop-and-go trek, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong finally led the first batch of mechanized combat troops to the outer area of the northwest base opened by the 120th Division.
There were no near misses along the way, and there were several battles one after another.
In the end, the infantry was used to solve the blockade of the Japanese checkpoints along the way, and then cover the smooth transfer of the mechanized combat troops.
Because these checkpoints were often attacked by the Eighth Route Army guerrilla troops, the Japanese army did not pay special attention to them.
After the strongholds and gun towers were pulled out, considering the severe cold in winter, the Japanese army temporarily reduced its troops and did not pay much attention to them.
Of course, the Japanese army still carefully guarded some special passes to ensure the military blockade between the Eighth Route Northwest Base Area and the Taihang Base Area.
Around ten o'clock in the morning on the 20th.
Brigadier Zhang personally led a troop to the outer lines of the base area and successfully met up with Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and his party...
Worry in vain
