At this time, the entire Three Jin war situation showed the following parts:
The first part is inside Huangya Cave. More than 3,000 elite members of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army were completely trapped in Huangya Cave by the collapsed Xiantian Canyon Passage.
The Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army relied on the terrain of the mountains inside Huangyadong to start a battle.
Since the Yixiantian Canyon passage was completely isolated, the Japanese troops who entered Huangya Cave were isolated and helpless. The Japanese had to frequently carry out air fire reinforcements from the nearby temporary airport in Licheng to the interior of Huangya Cave.
The Japanese army had at least nearly one flying squadron, which was almost firmly contained in the inner area of Huangya Cave.
This has been a rare situation for the Japanese army since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.
The Japanese flying troops, which had absolute air supremacy, were tightly restrained by the Eighth Route Army troops on the ground, and did not dare to completely withdraw from the battlefield.
This virtually shared the pressure of the Japanese's aerial firepower reinforcements on the battlefield in other areas.
In addition, more than 100 members of the China-Destroying Airborne Forces led by the Japanese Zhongzuo Shimada Shozo also successfully parachuted into the mountains inside Huangyadong, waiting for opportunities to carry out sabotage and sneak attacks.
The second part is the combat area outside Huangyadong, which is isolated by the collapsed Yixiantian Canyon channel. The elite of the 36th Japanese Division outside Huangyadong, as well as the third, ninth, and sixteenth soldiers who arrived as follow-up reinforcements. Some elite members of the mixed brigade fought along the way with the Eighth Route Army troops who were reinforcing Huangyadong.
The third part is in the eastern part of Taihang, the 385 brigade base area.
Mainly the Japanese Third Mixed Brigade, including some field troops from the Ninth and Sixteenth Mixed Brigades, plus the North China Security Army, there were nearly 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops. Continue to advance into the hinterland of the 386th Brigade base area and conduct a sweep.
Brigadier Chen, who controls the overall situation, is a very experienced angler.
Even if the Japanese army penetrated all the way, half of the big fish's mouth was already hanging on the hook.
Brigadier Chen still waited calmly, the moment when the big fish finally bit the hook and was hung tightly on the hook.
Only then will he launch the final decisive battle with the power of thunder and unleash all his strength.
The fourth part of the battlefield is also the latest battlefield to occur.
That was in the 386 Brigade base area and the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle launched a major winter counterattack this winter, occupying a large number of quasi-public security areas that originally belonged to the Japanese army.
The Japanese 26th Division stationed in Datong, as well as the cavalry group stationed in Datong, cooperated with the First Army stationed in Shanxi to move south quickly and went straight to the north of Taihang and behind the Northwestern Shanxi Iron Triangle Defense Zone.
Two fully-equipped Japanese cavalry regiments, plus a mechanized combat unit from the Japanese 26th Division, took the lead in approaching the outer defense zone of the Iron Triangle.
Immediately, with lightning speed, they launched a fierce attack on the area occupied by the three Iron Triangle regiments during their winter counterattack.
The four parts mentioned above are four parts of the battlefield that can be easily analyzed on the surface.
It was also at this moment that it appeared on the huge military combat map hung on the wall of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. The staff were working on the map, and the intricate overall situation gradually emerged.
“Right now, the battlefields in the four parts are basically stable.
Inside Huangya Cave, the more than 3,000 Japanese troops are just turtles in a urn. It is only a matter of time to eliminate these little devils.
In the battle outside Huangyadong, our army used guerrilla tactics to contain the main force of the Japanese army, and temporarily fell into a stalemate.
Don’t worry about Brigade 385, Lao Chen is still preparing to make a fortune quietly!
The 386th Brigade Defense Area was also well prepared.
As for the defense areas of Ding Wei, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, Ding Wei had already reported two days ago and had prepared a comprehensive layout.
Now only the direction of the Northwest Military Region is left, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie finally implemented the plan to surprise the Japanese army in Datong.
Boss, we can now be said to be firmly on the Diaoyutai! "
The commander-in-chief nodded with a smile on his face.
If this battle around the Huangyadong Arsenal goes well, it may be possible to break the increasing military blockade of the base area by the Japanese army since the Hundred Regiments War.
In order to improve the increasingly difficult predicament of the base area.
This is like the Battle of Shota that was launched to break the vicious cage policy of the Japs. It cannot be established without destruction.
Only by completely breaking all the Japanese tactics can the Eighth Route Army move towards a brighter future.
However, the battle situation is always changing rapidly.
Many times, non-human beings can take control.
As the situation continues to evolve.
What was originally four local battlefields on the surface soon evolved into a dozen or even dozens of battlefields of various sizes.
The defense area of the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle.
Ding Wei, this is a man who is not afraid of anything, and is very capable of causing trouble.
Li Yunlong and the generals at all levels of the team led by Kong Jie and the new second regiment were deeply influenced by the two regiment leaders.
Everyone is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
When Ding Wei proposed at the temporary joint headquarters: "The little Japs from the First Army are going south this time together with the Japs stationed in the Mongolian Army, preparing to attack our Eighth Route Army base area from both sides.
We have to do a good job defensively, but we must not lose our spirit.
Can a battle without even an attack be considered a battle? "
In this regard, Shen Quan, the leader of the Third Independent Regiment, deeply believed: "The best defense is offense. In the Battle of Cangyunling that year, several of our regiments directly launched a frontal attack, catching the Japanese by surprise. Turned the tide of the war!"
"Old Shen said it well!"
Ding Wei nodded and continued: "So, what I mean is that this time we have a division of labor and divide our defensive force into two parts, one is the defensive force and the other is the offensive force.
The members of the offensive force must be veterans with rich combat experience and experience in intermittent combat.
Regarding this, I had an idea. Our defensive force is defined as the bear force. The bear represents the earth, is thick and strong, and has the most powerful defense.
As for the offensive force, it is defined as a wolf force. The wolves are cunning and fierce, closely coordinated and united, and are most suitable for attacking. "
Xu Guoan, the chief of staff of a team, looked surprised when he heard this: "Old Ding, this is very interesting, but how to distinguish the offensive troops from the defensive troops?"
"I've thought about this a long time ago. It's very simple. Let's just draw some marks on the left side of the soldiers' helmets to distinguish them.
Just use a white marker and simply draw an ear. The wolf's ears are pointed and the bear's ears are round.
Whether it is an offensive force or a defensive force, you can tell it at a glance!
When fighting across regions, we can also use this to prove the identity of our troops and avoid misunderstandings with friendly troops. "
Ding Wei said with a smile.
This idea was indeed a good one, and the cadres nodded one after another, indicating that they would make preparations later and allocate troops suitable for the attack from the team.
At this time, Lei Dasheng, leader of the Independent Regiment, spoke again:
"Comrades, I have one more suggestion. I think our offensive force should not just be a conventional penetration force, but also a mobile combat force with high-speed mobility and suddenness.
We have to show the little son of a bitch what our Eighth Route Army's mobile defensive operations are.
Our defense cannot be static, and we cannot hold on to the same position and be bombarded by the Japanese indiscriminately.
Call out our mobile combat units, whether they are cavalry units, bicycle units, or mechanized combat units. In short, they are all sent out to harass and attack the Japanese from all directions.
At the same time, reinforcements can be sent to local battlefields at any time.
Then it won’t be us who are in a hurry, but his little devil! "
Everyone immediately agreed, and everyone brainstormed and put into practice any good ideas.
Just like that, each clever plan was implemented one by one after discussions among the cadres.
Immediately afterwards, the evolution of the battle situation was beyond the expectations of all parties.
It even exceeded the expectations of Ding Wei and his team as the initiator...
First, the cavalry troops and mechanized combat troops stationed in Mongolia first arrived in the area occupied by the Iron Triangle Winter Offensive and directly launched a surprise attack.
According to the original plan of the Japanese, with the help of the mobility of the mobile troops, they suddenly launched an attack on the outer garrison locations of the three Eighth Route Army combat groups in the Iron Triangle.
It will definitely catch the Eighth Route Army by surprise.
As a result, the agility displayed by the Eighth Route Army troops greatly exceeded the Japanese expectations.
Facing the thunderous offensive of the mobile troops of the Japs stationed in Mongolia, the Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers, who had originally occupied a large number of strongholds and gun towers with the help of the winter offensive, responded extremely quickly.
After dispatching corresponding troops to block the attack along the way, we successfully gained a certain amount of time.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers who were originally defending strongholds and gun towers evacuated from the strongholds and gun towers without any delay.
Avoid being completely trapped and eliminated by the Japanese attacking troops.
The occurrence of this situation actually greatly exceeded the expectations of the Japanese military command department.
Especially the cavalry of the Mongolian army that quickly moved south, and the Japanese soldiers of the mechanized combat unit.
In the past two years, their ears have been filled with how rampant and cunning the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area are.
Especially the Northwestern Shanxi Iron Triangle, how powerful and difficult it is to deal with.
It would be an exaggeration to say that the equipment level of the three regiments in the Northwest Iron Triangle, especially the Eighth Route Army's First Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment in Northwestern Shanxi.
I heard that it has surpassed the elite combat troops of the empire.
Regarding this, the officers of the Mongolian Army have never been willing to believe it.
It's not like they haven't dealt with the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi. The equipment of those Eighth Route Army was obviously backward, ammunition was scarce, and their equipment level was very different from that of the Imperial Japanese Army.
However, what the officers of the First Army said was true.
In addition, the First Army was defeated many times at the hands of the Taihang Eighth Route Army.
The name of the Iron Triangle has even spread among the troops stationed in Mongolia.
So this time we went south to reinforce the First Army and fight the Iron Triangle's Eighth Route Army for the first time. Although the Japanese officers stationed in the Mongolian Army did not believe in evil, they did not believe that such a powerful Eighth Route Army unit existed.
However, out of caution, this attack was relatively cautious.
After all, the commander of the First Army, His Excellency Yoshio Shinozuka, is not a vegetarian.
Even His Excellency the Commander has a headache due to this iron triangle.
Maybe the Eighth Route Army here is really different.
The results of it……
After the cavalry and mechanized combat troops of the Mongolian Army launched a surprise attack.
In the eyes of the Japs stationed in Mongolia, these Eighth Route Army iron triangle should be extremely powerful and have a very tenacious will to fight.
They actually abandoned all kinds of defenses, including strongholds and gun towers, and villages and towns.
Escaped?
The little devil stationed in the Mongolian army was stunned, and then laughed sarcastically.
What a bullshit Eighth Route Army Iron Triangle, that’s all.
The First Army was frightened to death by such a ruthless enemy. It really insulted the majesty of the Japanese Empire.
Seeing that the offensive was overwhelming, the mobile troops of the Mongolian Army took advantage of the momentum and quickly occupied the strongholds, gun towers, towns and villages that the Eighth Route Army in the Iron Triangle had voluntarily abandoned.
At this time, from a general point of view, the Eighth Route Army, which seemed to be an iron triangle, could not stop the offensive of the mobile troops stationed in Mongolia and was forced to withdraw completely.
】
The little Japs stationed in the Mongolian Army easily captured all the large base areas captured by the Eighth Route Army's winter offensive in the Iron Triangle.
They had just entered the war and achieved such fruitful results.
The Japanese officers stationed in the Mongolian army had their tails raised to the sky.
After the news spread to the surrounding Japanese-occupied county headquarters.
These Japanese officers, who often dealt with the Eighth Route Army in the Iron Triangle, had faces full of astonishment, but they did not hesitate. They quickly dispatched security forces to assist the Mongolian troops stationed in the south and take over the villages, towns and strongholds abandoned by the Eighth Route Army.
As subsequent reinforcements from the Mongolian Army gradually arrived.
These strongholds, villages and towns, which are closest to the Iron Triangle base area, have become the most convenient transportation hubs and logistics transfer stations for the Japanese army.
Of course, the little devil is not a fool, and he also doubts that the Eighth Route Army abandoned the strongholds captured during the winter offensive so easily.
Are there any traps?
Therefore, after reoccupying these strongholds and gun towers, the Japanese army also conducted internal security inspections, but no problems were found.
It seemed that it was still the same artillery tower they were familiar with in the past, but the fortifications had been specially reinforced by these Eighth Route Army troops.
On the contrary, it facilitated the Japanese defense.
In addition, the war situation was tense and the stronghold was reoccupied, so the Japanese and puppet troops in the artillery tower did not think much.
…
Shanxi North Iron Triangle Provisional Joint Command.
It was learned that all frontline troops had voluntarily withdrawn from the strongholds occupied by the winter offensive in accordance with the combat plan.
The little devils stationed in the Mongolian Army have also been fully stationed in those areas.
Ding Wei, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, ordered with excitement:
"Comrades, the time has come. Tomorrow we will put the Japs' mobile troops into the base area and lock all the road blocks that the mobile troops can pass through.
Our offensive troops took the opportunity to detour to the outer lines and first knock down all the strongholds, gun towers, towns and villages occupied by the Japanese.
The Japanese cavalry and mobile troops will be completely trapped in our base area. I want to see how his little Japanese can escape.
Wait until the Japanese mobile troops stationed in Mongolia are completely destroyed.
Let's fight a good defensive and annihilation battle for the little devil.
Even if the devil wants to run away this time, humph, it won't be that easy! "
…
