Currently, Duan Peng, the main person in charge of a commando team, is also leading some team members to perform secret combat missions in the Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions.
Deputy captain Ye Min led some team members back to the detachment.
Looking at Ye Min, who appeared in the conference room with a calm face and paid a military salute to Kong Jie, the leaders present looked at each other for a moment.
Everyone had no idea what detachment leader Kong Jie meant.
I remember that when the first team was still the old independent regiment, because they had seen the power of the Japanese special agent team Yamamoto, at the call of Kong Jie, the independent regiment specially created a commando combat force.
Kong Jie also personally served as the team leader and was responsible for special training.
After its establishment, this unit has indeed played many wonderful roles, from surprise attacks on Japanese airports to the execution of thrilling combat missions one after another.
Every member of the commando team is an absolute elite selected layer by layer from the entire detachment.
The combat effectiveness of such an elite small combat force is unquestionable.
If Ye Min could lead the commando soldiers to carry out a beheading operation and destroy a certain command structure of the Japanese army, the regiment leaders would naturally not doubt it.
But what we are facing now is the main force of the Japanese Sixth Division, which is advancing towards the airport, with at least 10,000 troops. Under such circumstances, it is a bit weird to face such an assault force with only a few dozen people, right?
Kong Jie gave the answer directly:
"As for the main force of the Japs who first entered the airport area, Ye Min and the others will be responsible for dealing with it!"
As soon as these words came out, the conference room exploded. The group leaders who originally thought it was a bit unbelievable even widened their eyes. Isn't this a joke?
"Old commander, are you kidding me? With just a few dozen people in their commando team, can they stop the advance of the main force of thousands of Japs?"
Wang Leihu, the leader of the second regiment, was the first to speak. Everyone thought that the old regiment leader had some clever plan, but he actually wanted to let the commando team deal with the main force of the Japanese army entering the airport.
This is impossible no matter how you look at it.
It's just a commando team of dozens of people. Even if all of you are magic soldiers descended from the sky, you can't possibly defeat the enemy's army, right?
Faced with the hesitation of the group leaders, Kong Jie smiled confidently.
Generals should have the right to know the true situation, and they should not give orders with worries and doubts.
He turned to Ye Min and said, "I'll give you three minutes to explain it to the group leaders, so that they can understand it thoroughly!"
"yes!"
Ye Min responded, then turned around to explain to several group leaders how to use his commando team of dozens of numbers to deal with the elite main force of at least several thousand people who were the first to advance by the Japs.
The conference room was quiet for a while, and only Ye Min's methodical explanation could be heard.
After Ye Min finished explaining, the faces of several group leaders were all shocked.
Even Shen Quan, who always likes to play tricks and trick Japanese devils, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said in a daze: "Is this thing... really possible?"
Lei Dasheng, the leader of the first regiment, took over the conversation and said: "Theoretically, there should be no problem. Several of our regiment leaders have also taken the chemistry course of our detachment's cultural class. Doesn't it contain this knowledge?
The teacher also did an experiment at that time, and it really exploded!
It's just that for such a large-scale attempt this time, if it really succeeds, the power will be so great that I can't even imagine it! "
Several group leaders were talking to each other, and suddenly they realized how terrible this lack of culture was.
If this were pushed forward a few years, no matter how elaborate Ye Min's explanation was, everyone would probably just feel like they were listening to a book from heaven.
After listening to Ye Min's explanation, I suddenly felt that it was indeed feasible.
If this plan is successful.
"Old commander, we are the first in the Eighth Route Army to kill the enemy in this way!"
Kong Jie explained with a smile: "You can rest assured that the specific plan will be implemented. In order to make this operation foolproof, Ye Min and the others have made many attempts with the assistance of the Logistics Department.
I failed a few times at the beginning, but later I succeeded without exception.
Having said that, this is also a forced choice to avoid our casualties.
The fake airport we built is backed by a mountain. In order to achieve the effect of confusing the fake with the real one and paralyzing the judgment of the Japanese army, no special bunkers were built in the airport area.
Once the Japs advance to the airport area, there is a high possibility of launching regional bombardment in advance.
If we deploy a large number of ambushes in the airport area in advance, once the Japanese artillery shells fall, casualties will definitely be unavoidable.
If we only enter some small groups and use some of our anti-gun fortifications hidden at the airport, we can avoid unnecessary casualties. "
Several group leaders dispelled their doubts and the plan was finalized.
Each regiment deployed according to Kong Jie's order.
In addition, Ding Wei's new regiment and Li Yunlong's new second regiment are also cooperating with a detachment to cut off the retreat routes of the 6th Division in all directions, and combine all the mobile forces of the Iron Triangle to prepare for this heavy damage or even complete annihilation of the Japanese army. Battle of the Sixth Division.
…
Almost at the same node.
A few days ago, the Eighth Route Army's former enemy headquarters, deputy commander-in-chief, and deputy chief of general staff received a combat plan named "Operation Dike Break" from the 120th Division.
After discussion and analysis, the deputy chief of staff and deputy commander-in-chief approved the combat plan and took control of the overall situation. After analysis, they worked out the best time to officially launch the embankment breaching operation.
To cooperate with the operations in Taihang and various base areas.
Time passes so quickly.
to late May.
Shanxi, including Shandong and western Inner Mongolia, are gradually entering the rainy season, with light rain falling every now and then.
In accordance with the combat instructions issued by the former enemy's general headquarters, the 120th Division officially launched an operation called Operation Embankment Breaking.
23rd.
The 120th Division suddenly dispatched its main force to recapture Jingle County, Loufan Town and Zhanjiao County without the Japanese army being prepared. Then, using Jingle County as a base, it crossed the Luliang Mountains eastward and inserted into the junction of Yangqu County and Taiyuan.
At the same time, they launched an attack on Taiyuan Beiguan and established blocking positions to prevent the Japanese from returning to the north of Yangqu County and cut off the northern section of the Tongpu Railway.
The first group was based in Zhanjiao County, crossed the Luliang Mountains, entered the western highlands of Taiyuan City, and began to attempt to siege the city. It comprehensively attacked strongholds and transportation lines outside the city as well as the airport, and attacked Japanese-owned enterprises, warehouses, mines, and prisoner-of-war camps.
One unit interspersed between Linfen and Taiyuan, ambushing the reinforcements attacking Linfen.
Additional troops took advantage of Linfen's emptiness to launch an attack on Linfen, attracting Japanese troops from the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line around Yuncheng to return for reinforcements.
After the battle started, the Japanese troops on the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line urgently moved towards Linfen for reinforcements.
And the little Japs on the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line moved.
Wang Huaibao, leader of the Fourth Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, who had been keeping a close eye on the Japs in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, smelled the scent immediately.
Without saying a word, Wang Huaibao held an emergency military meeting that night, and then made combat arrangements. Now the fourth independent regiment was strong and strong, quickly cooperating with the attacking friendly troops of the 129th Division and breaking through the Japanese defense line.
And cooperated with the troops of the 120th Division to launch a raid on Yuncheng.
All progress is going very smoothly.
At this time, the Japanese army in North China was focused on the Taihang area on the one hand, and near the EEDS Basin in western Inner Mongolia on the other.
As for the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army targeting the northern Shanxi region, they focused on conventional defense as usual.
The Japanese army never expected that the 120th Division would use such great courage, use such a large formation, and suddenly attack, and they would go straight to Taiyuan, the core area of the Japanese army.
Eighth Route Army Northwest Military Region Headquarters.
The division commander, detachment leader Song, and brigade commander Zhang and other generals had used a sand table to conduct deductions before the embankment breaching operation began.
According to everyone’s analysis:
Starting on the 23rd, the military operations so far can only be regarded as the input of troops in the first phase of the embankment breaching operation.
As the teacher said:
"At this stage, we need to hit the enemy with a blow and invest all the armored troops and artillery. We have to let the enemy know what it means to be unstoppable.
Perhaps our 120th Division has been too low-key these years. If we don't fight two tough battles, the Japanese may have forgotten that there is an anti-Japanese armed force like ours in North China! "
After the battle became intense, inside the headquarters of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi, Yoshio Iwamatsu, the newly appointed commander of the Japanese First Army, was the first to panic.
Don't panic.
The 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army was obviously heading straight for Taiyuan City, and the headquarters of his First Army was in Taiyuan City. This combat action of the Eighth Route Army could be said to have directly threatened the life of Yoshio Iwamatsu.
What is the key issue? The key is that the First Army troops originally stationed in Shanxi have been replaced on a large scale by Commander-in-Chief Okamura Neiji. Basically, the main forces have been transferred to the Shandong area to deal with the Eighth Route Army in Shandong.
Basically, the troops in Shanxi are not part of his First Army.
So Yoshio Iwamatsu, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, could only honestly send emergency battle reports to the headquarters one after another, explaining how powerful he was.
The implication is, naturally, to ask for reinforcements.
Who would have guessed.
The Japanese Army's North China Headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Okamura Neiji, an old Japanese soldier, sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and remained very calm.
He even played chess with his chief of staff leisurely. During the game, he said to the chief of staff calmly: "It seems that the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army is nothing more than this.
Our offensive against Huangyadong and the offensive against the Iron Triangle Aviation Base has seriously threatened their war potential.
The sudden action of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army seemed like a crisis, but in fact, in my opinion, it was somewhat like a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry.
It was obvious that they could no longer hold back and deployed strategic reserves in advance, trying to besiege Taiyuan and encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.
But how could I be fooled like this?
Taiyuan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is heavily guarded. Although the Eighth Route Army made a lot of noise, it is not likely to threaten Taiyuan.
The more eager these eight groups are to take action, the more opportunity they have to prove that our empire has come. "
"Instructions are sent to strengthen the reserve forces on the north and south sides of the Tongpu Line to the direction of Taiyuan, first to relieve the siege of Taiyuan, and then to clear out the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army in Linfen and Yuncheng.
At the same time, the Niu Dao troops inserted into the Huangyadong area, as well as the troops entering the Iron Triangle base area, were ordered to join the reserve team in preparation for a general offensive.
Also, the Ishikawa Department of the Third Mixed Brigade, which had been lingering in the Lucheng Canyon area for a long time, and the Twelfth Army Headquarters broke through the entire line and penetrated directly into Licheng.
The Twelfth Army Headquarters in Xiangyuan immediately broke through the Eighth Route Army's defense line, and together with the imperial army troops in the direction of Licheng and Lucheng, they joined the Niudao Manchu Division in the Huangyadong area.
I must completely destroy the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal at all costs.
In addition, the Sixth Division was ordered to strengthen its offensive and strive to join forces with Ushijima Manchu and the troops from Licheng to destroy all the core bases of the 129th Division.
Bring the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army and the commander of the 129th Division to Peking to see me! "
…
…
When Okamura's order was conveyed to the headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division, the old Japanese Kazuo Sekimura was also making pre-war preparations for the final attack on the secret aviation base of the first team.
At the moment, Guancun, an old Japanese soldier, is not worried about anything else. He is only worried about the difficulty of ensuring logistical supplies after going deep into the Eighth Route Army base area.
This old devil has two skills.
It’s also a long-term consideration.
Your Excellency the Commander's order is to destroy the secret aviation base of the Eighth Route Army and destroy the so-called aviation force built by the Eighth Route Army.
However, the strength displayed by the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area in recent years is not trivial. Once the Sixth Division goes deep into battle, it may fall into a quagmire.
The battle may not be able to end in a short time, and logistics issues have become a key point.
For this reason, when Guancun ordered to be temporarily stationed in the Yangquan area, he was mainly trying to find ways to raise more logistical supplies.
This requires the use of local snakes.
As for the Yangquan area, the Kawashima trio are the biggest local leaders.
That is, the original Major Kawashima, the Japanese squadron leader Miki Ichiro, and the puppet company commander Qian Dekai. These three people imitated the Eighth Route Army Iron Triangle, known as the Yangquan Iron Triangle, and even became brothers.
Due to their contribution in maintaining public security in Yangquan, these three brothers are now rising, and Major Kawashima has become Lieutenant Colonel Kawashima.
Ichiro Miki was also promoted from the rank of captain to the rank of major.
Even Qian Dekai was promoted to the commander of the first regiment of the Imperial Association Army in Yangquan area.
At this time, the three people were plotting in a secret box of a restaurant.
After meeting, Miki Ichiro and Qian Dekai began to express their bitterness.
"Brother, this Taijun Guancun is really too much. He usually comes to us brothers as soon as he calls and leaves as soon as he calls.
His troops are stationed behind us in Yangquan. They really eat from us, drink from us, and ask us to provide for them one by one like grandfathers.
Even the most ordinary soldiers in his Sixth Division dare to run rampant in our Yangquan and bully our brothers at will.
We go to the headquarters to complain, what will happen? On the contrary, he was scolded severely by Taijun Guancun. He was living such a useless life! "
Miki Ichiro echoed: "Yes, they don't regard us as human beings at all!"
Then the problem arises.
"Brother, these bastards from the Sixth Division are doing this to our brothers, and even directly occupying our supplies, but why do you still let your brothers help maintain the communication lines and let the logistics troops send more supplies.
Even try their best to cooperate with the logistics work of the Sixth Division? "
Kawashima smiled and said: "It's all for the holy war. We will do our best, go through fire and water, no matter what. This personal grudge is nothing."
Qian Dekai couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Brother, please stop joking in front of our brothers."
Kawashima smiled. As the leader of the Yangquan Iron Triangle, he slowly said: "The truth is actually very simple. As an old Chinese saying goes, if you want to destroy it, you must first expand it..."
