In order to destroy it, it must first expand...
Qian Dekai and Miki Ichiro were a little stunned. Lieutenant Commander Kawashima, who is currently studying Chinese culture, confidently explained:
"Isn't this difficult to understand? As far as the public is concerned, this time the Sixth Division is temporarily stationed in our Yangquan area in accordance with the order of the General Headquarters, responsible for dealing with the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army.
We are the main commander in the Yangquan area, so we naturally have to fully assist the Sixth Division in its work.
Then, it is our duty to help the Sixth Division prepare logistics and provide assistance.
As long as we do this job well, no matter whether the battle between the Sixth Division and the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army ends in victory or defeat, at least the superiors will definitely not blame us, and will even reward us for our excellent work. "
Qian Dekai expressed some worry: "It's just, brother, what should we explain to Kong Shatou?
This living king of hell has specially recorded red and black accounts for us. If XX hits too many, our lives will be directly at stake! "
Gudong——
Major Miki couldn't help but swallowed, this was the scariest thing.
A few days ago, some short-sighted officers in several nearby counties were self-righteous. As a result, within a week, some were killed by falling wood when they went out, while others died inexplicably at home.
It looked like an accidental death, but the devils who knew about it knew exactly what was actually going on.
Those living hell kings in the first team these days are really not to be messed with.
Kawashima is still confident about this: "Don't worry, I have my own countermeasures for this.
And Kong Jie should have guessed this step a long time ago. Not long ago, he specially sent us several batches of coarse grains. What do you think it was for? "
"ah?"
"Kong Jie told me in the letter that we should do our best to assist the Sixth Division in its logistics work, and we must also make a special guarantee that the soldiers of the Sixth Division will eat refined food every meal.
Kong Jie was even willing to pay for the expenses for us.
The only thing is that we need to store the large quantities of coarse grains sent by the Eighth Route Army in various supply camps along the way as the Sixth Division advances towards the first team. "
"What is the Eighth Route Army doing?" Major Miki expressed doubts about this.
Kawashima sneered and said: "Don't you understand this? The Eighth Route Army asked us to fully assist the Sixth Division in its logistics work. This is to promote the expansion of the Sixth Division before its demise.
Only when their logistics work is in place can they fight deep into the Eighth Route Army base areas and quickly fall into the Eighth Route Army's trap.
As for the coarse grains supplied to the camps along the way, they were reserved for the soldiers of the Sixth Division to eat later.
Let's talk about how this Sixth Division, full of strength after eating the fine food we specially provided, fought all the way to the interior of the Eighth Route Army base area.
As a result, they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and retreated all the way. The camps along the way could only eat coarse grains, which was fine for a day or two.
But if you continue to eat whole grains for a long time, let alone have no strength to fight, you may not even be able to poop. What will happen then? "
After coming back to their senses, Major Miki and Qian Dekai looked shocked.
"Shaving your head with this hole is too vulgar!"
"But, Mr. Kawashima, doing this to me is a bit against our conscience and is not good for the motherland. If the holy war is hindered because of people like us, if the cherry blossoms in our hometown bloom in the future, how can we have the face to go back and enjoy them? "Major Miki suddenly remembered that he is also Japanese!
"idiot!"
Kawashima scolded: "Your thoughts are really pedantic. When the jihad has reached this stage, do you still see much hope?
We are nothing but victims of war.
What is for the benefit of the motherland is just a means used by those insidious politicians to deceive people.
Whether the war is won or lost, does it make any difference to ordinary lower-class people like us?
In addition, there are many things that you are not unaware of. How many warriors of our empire shed their blood on the battlefield and dedicated everything to the empire.
What was the outcome?
Family members in China did not receive special care. Their sisters, sisters, and even their mothers were forcibly pulled to the front line. Do you know what they were doing?
It's for condolences!
When our soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line saw their bullied mothers in the house, do you know how painful their hearts were at that time? "
Major Miki was silent, he knew what was going on.
There are even some officers and soldiers in the common interest group formed by their Yangquan Iron Triangle who have experienced similar experiences.
So their hearts are tied together.
As Kawashima said: "The war has nothing to do with us. We are just small people trying to survive in the cracks at the bottom.
Little people should have the consciousness of little people. We just want to live a good life and let our relatives enjoy the happiness. Is there anything wrong with this? "
…
25th.
With the great assistance of Lieutenant Colonel Kawashima, Major Miki, and Qian Dekai, the Sixth Division made sufficient logistical preparations in advance. Then, under the leadership of the division commander Kazuo Sekimura, according to the predetermined plan, Advance towards the exposed secret aviation base of the Eighth Route Army.
Guancun, an old Japanese soldier, was quite insidious. He even imitated the Eighth Route Army's strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west.
Before the official offensive started, a few days in advance, Guancun, an old devil, sent several groups of troops to the western part of the First Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment. Withdrawal of the sweep operation.
This made Chief of Staff Xu Guoan at the headquarters couldn't help but mock:
"This old devil from Guancun is really like a clown on a pedestal now. He is full of ugliness, and all of it has fallen into our eyes. If you want to attack our airport, just come directly to us. There are no tricks like this!"
"How can I look smarter?" Kong Jie said with a smile.
Early in the morning on the 25th, when it was still bright and bright, Guancun ordered the troops to advance quickly, changed the direction of the previous attack, and went straight to the secret aviation base of the First Division of the Eighth Route Army.
In addition, two groups of security forces were arranged in disguise to continue to harass the Eighth Route Army base areas according to the offensive direction of the previous days.
The old devil used more troops than Kong Jie expected after making secret preparations.
In addition to the main force of the Sixth Division stationed near Yangquan, there was also a surprise attack force that the Japanese army split from Yangquan, passed through Xiyang, and penetrated north of Licheng. In addition, a group of troops from the 12th Army originally stationed in Shandong were assisting in the operation. A field brigade, plus some local security forces.
There are all kinds of people, nearly 20,000 elites, coming in a mighty force.
Xu Guoan, who learned the news, couldn't help but sigh: "Lao Kong, the bones this time are harder to crack than we expected.
The Japanese's combat effectiveness has never been weak, and this time they are coming with an elite division. Although our troops have developed somewhat, if we want to fully encircle or even severely damage the Japanese army, we must have at least three times the enemy's strength.
Although we have reinforcements from friendly forces from all walks of life, and basically all the elite troops of our team have been mobilized, compared with the strength of the little devils, it is still far behind.
It is really difficult to eat this devil in one go! "
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Of course there are difficulties. If there were no difficulties, what would we do as a team?
Although the situation is a bit more troublesome, we still have to fight as we should, and the worst we can do is expose more of our trump cards.
Don't say this devil comes to join one division, he comes to join ten divisions. We have to fight when we should!
The Japs have more troops than we do, so tell us soldiers, don’t they always make noises during training and say that it’s not enough, do you want to have a fun battle to kill the Japs?
Then each person will kill at least three little devils for me. After the battle, the instructors of each company will make statistics. Those who achieve the goal will be rewarded. If they fail to achieve the goal, I will not curse and shout three times to be embarrassed in front of the entire company. .
I still don't believe in this evil, but I want to see how much trouble this little devil of nearly a division can cause if he is thrown into our first team's base area. "
...The temporary headquarters of the Japanese Sixth Division.
Lieutenant General Guancun is studying the terrain map around the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation base.
After some research, the old devil naturally noticed the peculiar terrain of the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation base. To the west was an open field, which seemed to be the only direction that could be entered, and to the east was a large mountain, which was not conducive to an empire with mechanized troops at all. The main force unfolds and advances.
What he is worried about now is that the Eighth Route Army may hide ambushes in the mountains.
"Once our army entered rashly, the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to detour the ambush troops and cut off our army's retreat. This area has an east-west terrain. If we advance from the north to the south, we can only rush around the Eighth Route Army's base area.
I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our army! "
The Japanese chief of staff smiled and said: "The general may be overly worried.
As far as we know, the only mobile unit created by the Eighth Route Army has basically turned to the direction of Yan'an after withdrawing from the western Inner Mongolia area.
Our army's defense lines along the way also did not detect any information about the Eighth Route Army's mobile troops moving closer to the Taihang area.
Our army's advance towards the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation base this time is a large-scale deployment of troops. The search troops in the north and south directions even extend tens of miles outward.
If the Eighth Route Army wants to encircle our army or even cut off our army's retreat, it must meet the following conditions. One situation is that the Eighth Route Army's strength exceeds our army by at least three times. In addition, it must deploy in advance in the north and south areas and perfectly avoid them. Launch our army for reconnaissance.
Another situation is that the Eighth Route Army still has a large number of mobile troops on hand, and takes the opportunity to carry out long-distance detours and insert into the back and side of our army.
In addition, it is absolutely impossible for our army to be cut off from its retreat!
In the above two situations, I think the possibility is extremely slim! "
Guancun nodded, he didn't know the situation.
It was just a matter of great importance, so he thought more carefully out of caution.
"Xinxi, as the order advances, the search troops in the north and south directions will strengthen their vigilance and extend the cordon for an additional ten kilometers. They will also call for aerial reconnaissance to ensure that there are no hidden traps on the Eighth Route."
The Japs chief of staff said with relief: "General, even if the Eighth Route Army has already made arrangements, with the absolute power of our Sixth Division, if we just follow the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, it will not be difficult at all to destroy the Eighth Route Army's airport in a surprise attack.
The worst thing is that after being besieged and blocked by the Eighth Route Army troops, the main force can be withdrawn in time. "
Guancun nodded, feeling really relieved.
Lieutenant Colonel Kawashima was even more dedicated.
Before the main force of the Sixth Division officially set off, Lieutenant Colonel Kawashima reported to Guancun that all logistical materials had been secured to supply camps along the way.
In addition, the route of the Sixth Division's surprise attack on the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation base was also an interspersed route specially explored by Kawashima through the caravan.
After the battle started, what surprised Guancun, the old devil.
The advance line along the way was indeed very smooth, but was blocked by several small groups of combat troops from the Eighth Route Army, and they easily broke through the defense line.
The main force of the vanguard is rapidly advancing towards the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation base. According to the time point, it is expected to reach the target area around ten o'clock in the morning.
The Japanese aircraft, which cooperated with the Sixth Division to enter a team in advance to conduct reconnaissance over the ground, kept roaring.
Of course, it's basically high-altitude reconnaissance.
The air defense system of the first team is no joke. Ever since the little devils have been sending fighter planes to the first team's base area for reconnaissance and bombing, planes have crashed almost every month.
The Japanese were also completely frightened. Knowing that the air strikes would have little effect, fewer and fewer aircraft entered the base area of a team.
Even if they cooperated with the Sixth Division's advance this time, the Japanese pilots did not dare to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance at all.
However, it is generally certain that there are no signs of large-scale activities of Eighth Route Army troops in the area of the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation base.
In addition, after the Japanese army launched a large-scale sweep, military blockades and divisions had already been launched against various base areas of the Eighth Route Army. Guancun did not believe that the Eighth Route Army could gather more than three times its strength in a hurry to deal with him.
Around 10:20 am.
Under the careful command of Lieutenant General Guancun, the Japanese army regiment, headed by the Japanese Sixth Field Division, was a vanguard force with about 3,000 troops. They moved covertly along some valleys and hilly terrain and took the lead in reaching the target airport area. .
Observe the situation at the target airport from a distance.
There were Eighth Route Army troops on guard at the periphery, and through binoculars they could see the outlines of some planes parked at the airport. The Japanese colonel leading the team was immediately overjoyed. It turned out to be a secret airport belonging to the Eighth Route Army.
After the Japanese colonel got in touch with the headquarters, he immediately ordered the artillery to set up a position, and as usual, he took the lead in launching several rounds of bombardment of the airport area.
Guancun has no intention of recapturing these aircraft. That would be too troublesome.
The task Guancun received was to completely destroy the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation base.
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the Japanese colonel noticed that the peripheral security forces of the Eighth Route Army had been forced to evacuate, and the internal fighter planes were also drowned in the artillery fire.
"The main force of the Eighth Route Army has not been detected in the airport area. Our unit can launch an attack at any time and capture the Eighth Route Army airport in one fell swoop!"
After receiving the news, Guancun agreed to the order to march.
If the Eighth Route Army had hidden heavy troops in the airport area, it would have suffered heavy casualties under these rounds of shelling. Perhaps the Eighth Route Army did not have any advance preparations for the surprise attack by the imperial troops...
