The battle of the 120th Division to besiege Taiyuan City has come to an end for the time being.
With this battle and the attention of the public, the 120th Division can be said to have performed well.
The Japanese army finally realized that the most powerful members of the Eighth Route Army had become a serious problem for the empire, not only the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area, but also the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the northern Shanxi area.
Hetao area, headquarters of the 35th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
Commander Fu, who was sitting at the headquarters, asked his staff to simulate the 120th Division's siege of Taiyuan City on the sand table.
The different colors of military flags representing the various forces on the sand table were dazzling to see, and the arrows representing the movements of the various forces were even more complicated.
Attacking the city, attacking the city, calling for reinforcements, the Taiyuan area was completely in chaos.
However, just when all parties thought that the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army was really going to attack Taiyuan City with such a large formation and an unprecedented scale.
They suddenly turned their troops around and withdrew all the troops.
Commander Fu couldn't help but feel emotional at this courage and determination.
Commander Fu scoffed at the reports that the Japanese army tried to cover up their claims by announcing that the reinforcements had defeated the Eighth Route Army troops besieging Taiyuan City, relieved the crisis in Taiyuan City, and restored the Japanese military's prestige.
As he said to his chief of staff: "The little devil is eager to find a fig leaf now!
Those who are interested can detect clues if they look carefully. The battle situation published in the newspaper is quite fierce, but when it comes to the actual data, it is basically blurred, and there are only a few so-called photos.
After this battle, Lao He's team will probably be extremely rich.
This little devil is too busy wiping his butt and making excuses! "
…
After the 120th Division Headquarters commanded the second phase of the embankment breaching operation, the troops were preparing to return to the Luliang Mountains for rest and recuperation.
Thinking that the 358th Brigade did indeed perform well in the battle to siege Taiyuan City, Lao Zhang can almost take charge of it on his own.
The teacher then found Brigadier Zhang who was helping push the heavy artillery on the mountain road, and then said with a smile: "The next third phase of the battle will be yours to command.
From now on, Luliang Mountain will rely on you to play the leading role! "
Although Brigadier Zhang was reluctant to leave, he still said to the division commander: "Please don't worry, commander. I will use the wealth I earned from this big business to build an arsenal and a logistics base. Division commander, I think you will be in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Hebei provinces soon." China can now use the weapons and ammunition produced by us!"
The division commander said happily: "That's great! Our 120th Division can be considered proud and proud. I have to move the division's headquarters from Ligang Village to Peiping a little further and call him on the hotline from time to time!"
As soon as he said this, the soldiers couldn't help but laugh.
At this point, the main force of the 120th Division can be said to have temporarily withdrawn, and all attention on the battlefield has shifted to the 129th Division.
At this time, in the Huangyadong area, the confrontation between the Eighth Route Army Huangyadong Defense Joint Force and the Japanese Ushidao Manchu Division was gradually coming to an end.
Lao Guizi Niu Pingman led his troops to evacuate desperately. Finally, after paying a heavy price in casualties, he led the remaining troops out of the attack range of the Eighth Route Army's permanent fortification artillery group.
The first phase of the battle to encircle and annihilate the Niudao Manshi Regiment in Huangyadong achieved a complete victory.
When the teacher accompanied the deputy commander-in-chief to the core position of the Huangyadong first-line defense fortification group, he looked at the position that had been blown into dust and the ground was covered with shrapnel.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Without the tempering of blood and fire, the Eighth Route Army will not be strong. Without the baptism of iron and blood, the nation will not awaken. We are well prepared and have passed the first hurdle." , the road below will be easy to walk."
"Look, the mountains and streams are dyed red with blood. The soldiers braved air strikes and shelling and fought against the crazy Japanese. In the end, the crazy Japanese were defeated by the desperate iron-blooded warriors. From now on, what the Japanese call The elite field group will no longer be a stumbling block on the revolutionary road of our Eighth Route Army!"
The deputy commander smiled and said: "Well said!
The enemy's elite field battles collapsed. For us, this is a new beginning. With capital, we can do big business. We must sum up our experience and lessons, restore this series of battles, fully learn from our lessons, and start anew. Reorganize the troops and launch a new offensive. "
Looking at the piles of Japanese corpses, ready for sparks.
The deputy commander-in-chief said with emotion: "In 1954, on the road to strengthening the army, fame and wealth were finally laid in stone. Wind and rain paved the road with blood, and the whole city was dancing to the soul. This time, the little devil must have broken his muscles and bones!"
"There is a saying I heard it was said by Kong Jie, and I agree with it very much - the little devil raised by beasts has a mean nature. Only you can beat him thoroughly until it hurts, scares him, and scares him to the core. , only then can we achieve a true national victory!”
The division commander nodded with deep understanding, then turned to the commanders around him and said, "Let's go, I'm done sighing, let's go see off the soldiers who died on the battlefield!
Pour them a glass of wine, and when the pursuit is over, build a monument together and hold a memorial service for the fallen soldiers.
Section Chief Zhao, your engineering class should be busy during this time, sweeping away the landmines in the Huangyadong area and solving potential safety hazards. "
"yes!"
…
…
On the other side, it was said that at this time, Commander Lu of the Jizhong Military Region Headquarters was feeling depressed!
As he said when complaining to the Chief of Staff: "You said that the little devils all planned well. The ultimate goal of this unprecedented scale of May Day raids is to come to our Jizhong Military Region.
It stands to reason that the battle in Hebei and Central China will become the most noticeable focus of our battle with the Japanese army this time.
But what's the result?
Damn it, our Jizhong Military Region's limelight has been stolen by the brother troops in other base areas.
You said that Kong Jie and his iron triangle were fighting fiercely with the Japanese Sixth Field Division in the base area, and the defenders in the Huangyadong area were fighting fiercely with the Kwantung Army's Niu Daoman Division. Even the main force of the 120th Division was besieged. Taiyuan.
In the end, our Jizhong battlefield became an inconspicuous supporting role!
Even the battles at the large oil mines in the Mengxi area are more attractive than here!
Damn this fight! "
Commander Lu is so passionate!
After the 120th Division's Operation Skybreak and the 129th Division's Operation Skyfall were launched one after another.
Commander Lu is sitting at the headquarters of the Jizhong Base Area, and the staff of the Military Intelligence Department are constantly summarizing the intelligence of all friendly forces and marking it on the map.
The siege troops of the 385th Brigade Headquarters of the 120th Division in the Taiyuan area engaged in fire with another Japanese reinforcements outside Taiyuan City.
Which unit under the 120th Division Independent First Detachment in the Linfen area conquered which county town, and which unit captured which Japanese stronghold.
What results did the independent second detachment of the 120th Division in Yuncheng achieve? In cooperation with the independent first detachment of the 129th Division, the Zhongtiaoshan troops broke through the Japanese defense zone.
The Hebei, Shandong, and Henan Yang tribes attacked Pinghan Road again, intercepted many Japanese materials, and surrounded many mopping up troops.
The Shandong base area besieged the unit of the Japanese Third Division again, and how many people were annihilated...which unit of the First Army was eliminated; the Jinnan mobile unit attacked the Shide line again...which unit of the 129th Division and the 386th Brigade was severely damaged , which unit of the Ushijima Division was surrounded by the 385th Brigade, and what were the results of the newly formed 10th Brigade...
The commanders and fighters of each unit who were waiting for the order in the headquarters were all excited and gearing up, waiting for the order to be issued from the headquarters to directly launch a large-scale counterattack and attack the Thirteenth Division.
But Commander Lu was not in a hurry, he was as steady as an old dog.
The situation changed quietly.
News has been spreading in the past two days. As the Sixth Division and the Ushijima Division of the Kwantung Army lost battles in the Iron Triangle Base Area and Huangyadong area, Buntaiichiro, an old devil, seemed to be leading the 13th Division to evacuate.
Therefore, the commanders of the Jizhong Military Region were worried that this old devil had finally fallen into our base area step by step, fell into a trap again, and ate coarse grains along the way, causing stomach problems in the troops.
Now is the perfect time to counterattack. We can't let these little devils escape, right?
Therefore, many regiment leaders came to the headquarters to ask for a fight.
However, when faced with requests from regiment commanders and even brigade commanders below to fight, Commander Lu had only one sentence: "Go back and wait, you will fight the battle!"
He cooked plum duck in the headquarters, one young and one old.
Then he said to the soldiers: "This rainy season is here, so you have to eat plum duck. Young duck cooks quickly, and it doesn't taste good when it's old. Once it's boiled, it can be eaten with sour plum juice on it."
The meat of this old duck is strong and not easy to be stewed. It needs to be fried until it is golden brown. Then put the sauce in the pot and cook slowly. Pour the juice over again and again. It will be delicious only after the meat is stewed and completely absorbs the sour plum juice. "
As Ding Wei's old unit in the Central Hebei Military Region, the 28th Regiment was the first regiment to cooperate with a team, so it developed extremely quickly. Its equipment level and combat effectiveness can be regarded as the top-notch main regiment in the Central Hebei Military Region. .
Faced with Commander Lu's calmness.
The impatient Captain Lu couldn't help but said: "Commander, let me help you cook! You should read the military order, the soldiers can hardly hold it anymore."
The Japanese are fighting everywhere. Lao Kong and Lao Li have already fought several victorious battles, starting from defeating the Japanese armored forces in Mengxi and fighting all the way back to Taihang.
But there hasn't been any movement from our side until now. I can't wait any longer! "
Commander Lu smiled and said, "What's the hurry?
Lu Dayou, let me ask you, what does Sun Tzu say about the Art of War, Ji Chapter? "
Lu Dayou was stunned for a moment, thinking that ever since Li Yunlong started learning cultural knowledge, I have never fallen behind.
Especially books on the art of war, which are kept by the bedside all day long and can be read when one wakes up in the middle of the night.
When it comes to the area of self-confidence, Commander Lu immediately replied: "Commander, I am familiar with this! I have read the book to pieces.
Soldiers who, deception also.
Therefore, when it is possible, it is shown that it cannot be used, when it is used, it is shown that it is not used, when it is close, it is shown that it is far, and when it is far, it is shown that it is close.
Lure them with profit, take them with chaos, prepare them with actual strength, avoid them with force, scratch them with anger...attack them when they are unprepared and surprise them.
This military victory cannot be passed down first! "
Commander Lu smiled and said: "You know everything by heart, why don't you understand?
Do you still remember how Cao Cao rushed in to pursue Dong Zhuo's army and was ambushed by Xu Rong on the Xingyang Road? "
A regiment commander next to him answered: "Commander, could this old Japanese from the Thirteenth Division imitate Xu Rong and ambush our pursuing troops?"
Captain Lu immediately said: "I've heard this too. This old boy Buntaichiro is very cautious. If we counterattack rashly, we might really fall into his trap.
This old boy hasn't even officially evacuated yet, but he's spreading news everywhere. He's probably holding back some bad news!
Commander, how about we stay put and wait until the Japanese really evacuate? "
Commander Lu shook his head again, "No, you are wrong again. Not only do we have to move, we also have to move with great fanfare to attack their local garrison and puppet troops.
We have already suffered "heavy losses". How can we have the ability to fight against their main force, the 13th Division, and those two domestic security divisions?
Not only must we attack their strongholds, we must also destroy their communication lines, just like in the past, avoid their main force, paralyze their judgment, and allow them to shrink and evacuate boldly..."
The commander said and changed the subject with a smile:
"Do you prefer to eat young duck or old duck?"
The group leaders said that of course it is an old duck. The meat is firm and flavorful. The key is to eat it over time, unlike young duck, which can be eaten in three or two times and is not satisfying at all!
Commander Lu said: "It seems that everyone is thinking about the Thirteenth Division, but you need to have good teeth to eat hard food."
As soon as these words came out, Commander Lu immediately became stunned.
"Reporting to the Commander, our 28th Regiment is the only fully-equipped steel-helmeted unit in the Central Hebei Military Region. It also has a mechanized artillery battalion, a mechanized transportation battalion, an armored company, and an assault artillery company. These units are jointly fighting for the first time. Who else would I be?"
Commander Lu was not happy when he heard this: "I say, Lao Lu, you want to seize the main attack with a broken helmet, and you call yourself a helmet soldier, you are really not ashamed!
Don't listen to your bragging, our troops may not be worse than yours.
My team is a swimming championship team, and we have prepared kayaks, kayaks, bicycles, and motorcycles. We are just waiting for the continuous rainstorms to run up to the little devil and give him a hard slap. "
Looking at the commanders of each regiment who were quickly mobilized for combat, Commander Lu smiled, and then issued an order:
"Okay, don't argue. The specific combat plan has been drawn up by me and the political commissar of the chief of staff. It will be along the secret road built next to our water canal and the traffic tunnels in each village, batch by batch. Deploy as planned.
If the Japanese want to leave, they can't go out naked. There is no way.
The 28th Regiment was responsible for launching a feint attack on the main Japanese troops. We put the corpses of the puppet traitors killed by each unit into our old military uniforms and put them on during the night attack. This gave them a decent way to die and also allowed the soldiers of the Thirteenth Division to The old devil was proud of himself.
These old devils were so complacent that when they evacuated, they were asked to return their capital and profits.
Most of these new Japanese security divisions are new recruits and veterans who have re-enlisted in the army. It only takes a 20-cent recruitment letter to replenish each Japanese soldier.
I don't care about this kind of cheap devil, so you remember, focus on the elite troops of the 13th Division. If they want to attack us, we will attack their elites!
The elite old devil is dead, there is no way to replenish it! "
Captain Lu was very happy when he heard this: "Granny, are the little devils so worthless? The settling-in allowance we give to each new soldier is three oceans!"
