...Commander Fu, the commander of the 35th Route Army who has been stationed in the fields in the Hetao area for many years, is in a very unpleasant mood at the moment.
Call it uncomfortable, it is indeed a bit uncomfortable - for such a big commander, he has become a supporting role!
Let’s talk about joy, yes, there is indeed it.
Commander Fu, who was good at stealing chickens, indeed seized the opportunity during the intensifying battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army and launched a sneak attack in the Baotou area, which the Mongolian Army had always firmly controlled.
After the Eighth Route Army's intention to surprise Datong came to light.
Fu Yisheng formulated a plan to attack Baotou secretly.
He believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking advantage of the Japanese army being tortured by the Eighth Route Army, there was nothing more suitable than now to launch a sneak attack on the Baotou base camp of the Mongolian army.
Of course, Commander Fu, who was also treacherous and calculating, did not rush to reveal his offensive intentions as soon as his head got hot.
When the Eighth Route Army attacked Datong, he realized that his opportunity had come, so he secretly deployed his troops, assembled armored troops, automobile troops, cavalry and other quick-reaction troops, and secretly prepared a mobile combat plan for a roundabout surprise attack on Baotou.
At that time, Fu Yisheng believed that after the Eighth Route Army captured Datong, there would definitely be follow-up actions, and he continued to wait for the opportunity.
Until the Eighth Route Army severely damaged the troops stationed in Mongolia heading south.
They even crippled two Japanese cavalry regiments, and then besieged Licheng with heavy troops.
Then the fighting intensified and soon spread to northern Henan, western Shandong, central Shandong, and even the Shimen and Peking areas of Baoding.
This series of battles frightened the deputy commander.
This is both expected and unexpected.
He really didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army had grown to such an extent without knowing it, which was simply frightening.
He was even glad in his heart that he was not an enemy yet!
After that, the Kwantung Army Plain Brigade was deeply encircled by the Eighth Route Army and asked for help from everywhere.
Originally the Kwantung Army was born as an army stationed in Mongolia. After occupying Manchuria, the Kwantung Army became increasingly ambitious in an attempt to expand and control the Mongolian Xinjiang Corps, the vanguard force in the Mongolian Xinjiang area.
Finally, the Japanese Army Headquarters was also worried that the Kwantung Army would not be able to lose its tail, so it simply reorganized the Mongolian Xinjiang Corps into the Mongolian Garrison Army, and then placed it under the command of the North China Front Army to guard against invading enemies from the north.
For this reason, the Kwantung Army suffered a big loss and could only crush the steel teeth and swallow them in the stomach.
Since then, the army stationed in Manchuria has been responsible for the public security in northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia.
This can also explain why people will not easily obey the command of your commander-in-chief of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji.
——It is not a faction in the first place.
When it comes to reinforcing Peiping, it would be extremely convenient for the Mongolian army to use quick reaction troops to quickly reinforce the troops. The cavalry might arrive in a single charge.
Okamura naturally understood this truth, but firstly he couldn't lose face, and secondly he didn't want to take risks and put his hope on the Mongolian army.
I'm afraid the Kwantung Army is still evil and wants to capture his entire North China Army!
So the old boy deliberately asked for reinforcements and transferred the Kwantung Army Plain Brigade that was preparing to return north.
After the Pingye Brigade was heavily encircled by the Eighth Route Army, Okamura dispatched reinforcements from all directions, except for the Mongolian army, which did not even need to make a special notification.
The elite troops stationed in Mongolia, who were on the same side as the Kwantung Army, especially the elites of the 26th Division who were originally born in the Kwantung Army, quickly attacked in the direction of Baoding, and many cavalry units and tank units were transferred away.
Defensive flaws immediately appeared in northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, which were already stretched thin.
Fu Yisheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has arrived.
The Eighth Route Army once again gave him a great surprise. They actually surrounded and annihilated the Pingye Brigade in the Baoding area and successfully lured away a large number of elite cavalry and armored troops stationed in the Mongolian Army.
In fact, the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia were stationed for a long time in the Saibei Desert north of Yanmen Pass, east of the Hetao Plain, and northwest of Beijing. They were mostly composed of cavalry, armored vehicles, and tank units that could carry out operations on vast terrains. to special forces fighting with rapid mobility.
What's special about it is that although it doesn't have many troops.
However, it has been equipped with heavyweight mobile forces such as cavalry groups and tank divisions.
The entire Japanese Army only has one cavalry group and four tank divisions.
In this way, the Japanese army deployed a short and capable force such as the Mongolian Army in the northern part of the Great Wall.
Relying on their strong mobility and combat advantages, the relatively small Japanese army was able to firmly control the vast territory of the Saibei area.
Naturally, conventional infantry cannot be an opponent of the Mongolian army.
If it were Fu Yisheng, that would be a different matter.
The 35th Route Army has been stationed and operated in the Hetao area for many years. Its old opponent is the Mongolian Army. It has an equally profound background. In addition to conventional infantry elites, there are even mobile combat units such as the 7th Cavalry Division of the Central Army.
In addition, Fu Yisheng is also a ruthless character.
During the Battle of Wuyuan, Wuyuan was captured by the Japanese army. Fu Yisheng vowed not to give up Suixi, but he fought back and regained Wuyuan. The Japanese army was caught off guard and fled in disastrous defeat.
The Chinese army thus regained the first city after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.
Since then, Fu Yisheng has become famous both at home and abroad.
The Japanese troops in the entire Suixi area no longer dared to commit minor crimes.
In addition, as early as in the Northwest Military Region, Kong Jie had discussed with the brigade commander and division commander how to deal with the large number of vehicles and tanks captured after the surprise attack on Datong.
Kong Jie put forward his own suggestions at the time and said: "The combat system of the mechanized troops in our Northwest Military Region has not yet been perfected. Even if a considerable number of vehicles and tanks are captured, it is only superficially bluffing.
In fact, given our conditions and economic situation, it may be difficult to even maintain these vehicles. It may not be possible to actually bring out the combat effectiveness of these tanks in a short time. "
Brigadier Zhang smiled and said at that time: "Kong Jie, stop hiding it and tell me what you think!"
Kong Jie chuckled: "Brigadier Commander, I think the various vehicles and tanks we captured can be divided into two batches.
A batch of relatively advanced tanks were basically captured completely without any special losses. We will reserve these tanks as the basis for the future development of the mechanized combat forces of our Northwest Military Region.
There are another group of vehicles, armored vehicles, and tanks that were damaged in the battle and are old and almost obsolete. We can use them to do business with Commander Fu! "
Brigadier Zhang said: "You mean to sell these armored vehicles and tanks to the 35th Route Army?"
"Why not?"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Right now, our Northwest Military Region's anti-Japanese war needs more artillery, ammunition, guns, etc. in sufficient quantities. These basic equipment can better unleash the combat effectiveness of our troops.
As for armored vehicles and tanks, they are a bit flashy for us, at least at this stage.
And the 35th Route Army is extremely rich. They have a lot of guns and ammunition. We can use these broken armored vehicles and old-fashioned tanks and cars that are not of much use to exchange for the guns and ammunition we need. This is a sure profit. A no-loss deal. "
There was a pause in his words.
"In addition, now, the main force to deal with the troops stationed in Mongolia is still the 35th Route Army. With the addition of these cars and tanks that we support, the 35th Route Army can better contain the strength of the troops stationed in Mongolia.
Secondly, the Japanese army lost such a large number of tanks and tanks this time, these things are hot yams in anyone's hands.
The Japanese army will never allow the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces to have such mechanical equipment that can threaten them.
So not only do we have to do business with the 35th Route Army, but we also have to do it openly and with great fanfare.
The good name is: For the sake of the deputy commander, he already has a reputation of seven and a half. If the chairman of the committee really thinks that there is something between him and us, it will not be good.
We have to let the little devils know that all the mechanized vehicles we seized from them were sold to the 35th Route Army.
There is no way, who made our Eighth Route Army so poor! In addition, this base area is surrounded by mountainous areas and is not suitable for mechanized warfare.
Thirdly, after our battle with the Japanese army has gradually entered a fever pitch, it would be great if the 35th Route Army could take the opportunity to stab the Japanese in the back.
Let's send these tanks over. I still don't believe that Commander Fu can still sit still.
The chariot you finally bought can't be wasted! "
The words fell.
After the cadres at the headquarters looked at each other, almost the same thoughts emerged in their hearts:
Once this honest man becomes evil-minded, he is really bad!
!
that's all.
The division commander of the Northwest Military Region directly came forward to reach this cooperation with Fu Yisheng.
In this regard, Fu Yisheng, who is also not a fool, certainly knows the disadvantages of receiving these tanks, but for him, the advantages naturally outweigh the disadvantages.
In this regard, he even accepted the teacher's favor.
After the Eighth Route Army captured Datong, they captured a large number of armored vehicles, tanks, and cars from the 26th Division.
To be honest, Fu Yisheng looked jealous.
When fighting in areas such as northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, due to the terrain, mobile combat units can exert far greater advantages than conventional infantry.
Fu Yisheng has also tried to build some armored units in recent years, including some armored vehicles made by Jin, but the scale is still small. With these tanks and armored vehicles reinforced by the Eighth Route Army, even old and damaged ones are better than nothing. .
finally……
When several lines of cavalry and tank troops stationed in the Mongolian Army rapidly advanced towards Baoding to reinforce the Pingye Brigade.
Fu Yisheng, who seized the opportunity, took the opportunity to launch a plan to attack Baotou.
After long preparations, a large number of cavalry and armored troops formed a mixed rapid reaction force and pushed across the direction of Datong.
Prior to this, Commander Fu also made attacks in the east and west.
First, a cavalry unit was used to sneak attack on the largest horse farm outside Baotou.
In addition, several lines of cavalry were used to attack some Japanese strongholds.
This was used to encircle the point and bring reinforcements to paralyze the judgment of the Japanese army.
After this set of combined punches, the already empty troops stationed in Mongolia were once again mobilized outward from Baotou. The strength of the troops stationed in Baotou has basically bottomed out.
When Fu Yisheng's cavalry division and the newly formed tank troops broke in directly, there was not much suspense in the battle.
It took less than half a day for Fu Yisheng to successfully lay down Baotou.
Following the great victory in the Battle of Wuyuan.
He Fu Yisheng defeated the Mongolian army again.
After that, I naturally had to send a telegram to promote the power of the 35th Route Army.
Looking at the blue sky and white sun flag hanging on the gate of Baotou City, Commander Fu was full of high spirits and guiding the country.
As a result, after the telegram was sent out, it was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, without any response or movement.
"what happened?"
The deputy commander was a little depressed. This victory was not much smaller than the recovery of the Five Plains, right?
Why is there not even a single person to congratulate and praise?
Until the chief of staff arrived and reported with a helpless look: "Yi, Yi Gong..."
"But has the commendation order from the Chairman arrived?" Commander Fu's eyes lit up.
"No...it's the two mechanized combat units of the Eighth Route Army. Under the command of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, they have successfully joined forces in central Shandong, and each has completely penetrated the entire southern Shandong, northern Shandong, and central Shandong areas from the north and south."
"Due to the huge commotion, the intelligence agencies of all parties even believed that the Eighth Route Army subsequently encircled Licheng with heavy troops and attacked Baoding, Shimen, Xinxiang, Kaifeng, and even Zaoyang, Lincheng and other places just to cover these two A mechanized combat force bypassed the heavy defenses in western Shandong and completely disrupted long-distance mobile combat operations in Shandong."
"Right now, the entire North China and even the entire Sino-Japanese battlefield, and even international attention, are all drawn to the meeting of these two mechanized combat units of the Eighth Route Army!"
Fu Yisheng: "......"
Damn it, I have put so much effort into my relationship, but all the limelight has been stolen by these two young brats!
But if you think about it carefully, he, Fu Yisheng, just took advantage of the lack of Japanese troops to sneak attack Baotou, which had basically no defenders.
The Eighth Route Army attacked Datong, besieged Li City, and then attacked Xinxiang and Kaifeng cities, making more noise each one.
His brilliance was naturally completely obscured.
Looking at the depressed Fu Yisheng, the chief of staff smiled sarcastically, and then said: "Yi Gong, the news from the front line is that the Kwantung Army Plain Brigade was still severely damaged despite the reinforcements from all parties. It was a smooth breakout.
The cavalry and tank troops stationed in Mongolia, which are moving eastward for reinforcements, are quickly returning to Baotou for reinforcements.
I'm afraid it's not advisable to stay here for a long time! "
Fu Yisheng thought for a moment and nodded, "Withdraw! After the battlefield is cleaned up, there is basically no oil or water in this place."
He thought about it and felt a little unwilling to do so.
"In order to surprise Baotou when we came here, we avoided many Japanese defense areas, so we don't have to be so cowardly when we return.
beat! All the defensive areas, defensive lines, racecourses, farming fields, etc. encountered by the Mongolian troops he encountered along the way were all removed by him. "
The chief of staff said: "Yi Gong, if this is the case, what should we do if we collide with the mobile troops of the Mongolian Army returning for reinforcements?"
Commander Fu cursed: "Then give me a hard beating. Damn it, he touched the hands of the Eighth Route Army. The little devil who fled back in embarrassment came in front of our 35th Route Army. Why, he still Can it turn the world upside down?"
chief of staff:"……"
Even so, he always felt that the commander was not driven crazy by the Japanese army, but was clearly driven crazy by the Eighth Route Army.
"Since Yu is born, how can Liang be born?"
Commander Fu cursed, feeling increasingly uncomfortable...
