The father of the sword is Kong Jie

To say that the Sixth Field Division of the Iron Triangle against the Devils, the Huangyadong Yongbei Fortifications dealt with the Kwantung Army's Niu Dao Man Division, when the battle started.

It's fun to say.

The most nervous ones are not necessarily the deputy chief of staff and his party who are commanded by the Huangyadong headquarters, nor are they necessarily the division commanders and deputy commanders who are in charge of the overall situation at the former enemy headquarters.

These generals even had leisure time, listening to their subordinates report interesting stories about Li Yunlong cursing at the headquarters!
What worries me the most is the distant Yan'an General Headquarters.

The big leader, the commander-in-chief, and a large group of bigwigs sitting in the military intelligence room with a few incandescent lamps hung in it. The military intelligence staff kept marking the movements of the troops on the huge map and the huge sand table, and the communication office kept coming in to report the situation.

Operation Sky Crash and Operation Dike Burst, after they all approved it, no inquiry telegram was sent, and they all depended on the front-line command.

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the bosses are willing to believe in the judgment of the deputy commander in chief, and in the on-the-spot command of outstanding generals like Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei on the front line.

But they are also very concerned about this unprecedented scale of war.

Especially when the first phase of the Tianbeng operation started, they sat down from daytime to the afternoon, and finally at 17:[-] in the afternoon, the operation officially started.

First of all, the secret aviation base in the Iron Triangle defense area, the independent detachment headquarters is equipped with a heavy 150 howitzer regiment, the headquarters is equipped with a heavy 150 cannon regiment, a 105 light howitzer regiment, a 105 light cannon regiment, a mountain artillery regiment, a field artillery regiment, a heavy mortar regiment, an American light howitzer regiment, a heavy Veyron regiment, a medium Veyron regiment, and two light Veyron regiments.

Commander Yang, the artillery battalion, the assault gun battalion, the self-propelled howitzer battalion, and the 120th howitzer battalion, fully cooperated with the Iron Triangle troops and launched an attack on the Sixth Division.

Under the attack from all fronts, this is much more magnificent than the platoon of secret weapons of a single team.

The full-scale counteroffensive officially kicked off.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than three days.

The Sixth Division of Guancun and the mopping-up troops attached to the Twelfth Army were completely defeated by firepower.

Almost all over the mountains and plains, the Eighth Route Army troops in mobile combat quickly took the opportunity to make a detour, divide and surround the Japanese and puppet troops to disperse the troops.

The 129th Division in the Huangyadong area is directly under the Artillery Regiment, the 385th Brigade Artillery Regiment, the headquarters is directly under the Heavy Artillery Brigade, two Field Artillery Regiments, three Mountain Artillery Regiments, a Heavy Mortar Regiment, two American-made Light Howitzer Regiments, the 386 Brigade Mobile Mountain Artillery Regiment, the 772, 771 Artillery Battalion, the artillery companies of the main defense regiments, and the four secret Zhongweilong Artillery Regiments (rockets).

The once mighty Kwantung Army's Niu Dao Man Ten Regiment was beaten until it screamed.

The pride of the Kwantung Army and the dignity of the mountain field division were all thrown to Java by the old devil Niu Daoman.

Now he is only focused on leading the troops out of this hellish place, out of the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, and back to the comfortable rear of the Northeast.

The Eighth Route in this place is really scary, and it is not the same thing as the Anti-Union Forces in the Northeast.

Ushijima even began to sympathize with the difficulty of the Japanese army in North China, who had fought against such a cunning, powerful and brutal Eighth Route Army for so many years.

It can be seen that the imperial troops in North China still have some courage and strength.

He began to lead the troops to break through.

The Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army, which was originally used as cannon fodder, also lost contact at this moment.

Niu Daoman didn't care about the Huangxie army anymore, anyway, he didn't care about the survival of the Huangxie army.

As everyone knows, after entering Huangya Cave this time, although the Kwantung Army Niu Dao Man Division suffered heavy casualties, the Eighth Mixed Brigade basically did not suffer any casualties.

After the decisive battle between the two sides started, Yan Sanfu quickly ordered the troops to throw away their guns and ammunition, honestly asked all the soldiers to raise their hands above their heads, raise the white flag, and wait for the Eighth Route Army's captives in the mountains.

He is very clear about the Eighth Route Army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners.

For this reason, the deputy chief of staff felt a bit of a headache, just as he said in the Huangyadong headquarters: "Yan Sanfu, an old boy, is a good player who adapts to the wind, and surrendered directly with such a large army.

But tell me, should we take over and adapt the Eighth Mixed Brigade? "

A cadre said with a smile: "People like Yan Sanfu are just dawdling and doing foreign work. They would waste a lot of rations if they were put here. Sometimes it would be better to throw it to the little devil, eat and drink his food, but they don't work hard. They are like blood-sucking bugs. Sooner or later, the little devil will be dragged down."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help laughing, this metaphor is really vivid.

……

So far, Operation Sky Crash has started off to a good start.

Then, the Yan'an headquarters received a top-secret communication. Two days later, the first unit of the Audio-Technica Ministry's Langzihao (the main force of the Audio-Technica interspersed with the offensive force) successfully cut off the Shouyang-Yangquan railway, successfully occupied three stations on the Zhengtai Line, and is organizing the destruction of railway line culverts and bridges to encircle Shouyang City.

The main force is going to assist the defenders of Staff Officer Zhou in Liao County, pinching the devils outside the county to sweep up the troops, and one part is going to the Yangquan area.

The second army of the wolf brand is attacking Jingxing County. One part is cutting off the Yangquan-Jingxing Zhengtai Railway. All stations along the way have been occupied and are destroying railway culverts and bridges. The other part is going to Yangquan.

The third troop of the wolf brand has attacked across the board, has cut off the communication line from Xiyang to Licheng, and is cooperating with the friendly forces of Huangyadong to encircle the southward detachment of the sixth division.

On the other side is the Huangyadong area, and the first unit of the Shanzihao has been interspersed in the Guangzhi Mountain area from Xiangyuan to Licheng.

The No. [-] troop of Shanzihao is attacking Licheng, cutting off the devils' retreat.

The third unit of Shanzihao is cooperating with the troops of the Chen Department of Shexian County to surround Licheng and attack Shexian County. The Shanzihao unit is heading to the northern valley of Lucheng, preparing to cut off the communication line of Lucheng.

The Luzihao No. [-] special mobile unit in the Luliangshan area once again attacked the defenseless Mingbao Airport in Daixian County.

Mingbao Airport in Guizidai County was destroyed, all aircraft equipment was seized, Suqian Airport was captured, some aircraft were destroyed, some were seized, and equipment and supplies were removed.

Yuncheng Zhangxiao Airport was destroyed by the Zhongtiaoshan troops who broke through the blockade. Some aircraft were destroyed, some were seized, and materials and equipment were also removed.

Changzhi Chengbei Airport was also destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and all aircraft equipment was emptied.

The Eighth Route Army's battle line was very long, and the local battlefields were even more widely distributed. The confrontation with the Japanese mopping up troops in the base area was in full swing. They even took care of the rear of the Japanese occupied area from time to time.

When the old devil Okamura ordered again to send additional air reinforcements, he realized this in astonishment.

There is actually no large airport that can be obtained in Shanxi.

These damned bastards of the Eighth Route Army even infiltrated the areas around the airports to be riddled with holes, making it impossible to defend against them.

This reminded Okamura in a trance of the Yamamoto special team specially built to focus on beheading operations when the former commander of the First Army, Shinozuka Yoshio, was still in office.

Right now, these small units of the Eighth Route Army that infiltrated from all over the country are making a fuss in the rear of the Japanese army, attacking power stations, communication stations, and railway stations, constantly causing various explosions, sneaking attacks on airports, and plundering aircraft.

Unfortunately, the Yamamoto Special Team has long since become history.

On the contrary, it was the Eighth Route Army that carried forward this military field, what an irony.

finally.

The Sixth Division of Laoguizi Guancun failed to stick to what Okamura promised-the timely reinforcement of the Kwantung Army's Niu Daoman Division after completely destroying the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal.

Okamura also failed to wait for the news of the destruction of the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong Arsenal.

On the contrary, the Niu Dao Man Division suffered heavy losses in Huangyadong, and the main force of the Sixth Division also suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle against the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army.

The bad news came one after another.

The crisis of Taiyuan City being besieged is still not resolved.

Listening to the frontline reports on the Taihang area and Shanxi area, Okamura couldn't help frowning.

This time, many of the 12th Army units in Shanxi, the left-behind First Army units, and the First Army units in Shandong seem to be out of his control, and he has no idea what the current movements of these units are.

He is very clear about this, this should be the ghost of the commanders of the First Army and the No.12 Army.

It's just that Taiyuan City was besieged, and Yoshio Iwamatsu called for reinforcements, which is also understandable.

Okamura knew that the general situation was over, so he didn't expect so much.

He only hoped that after the crisis in Taiyuan was resolved, the Sixth Division, Niu Dao Man Division, and the First Army and No.12 Army, after they were freed from the entanglement of the Eighth Route Army, could quickly encircle the troops according to the established plan, and complete the original goal of the May [-]st raid—to destroy the Eighth Route Army station in the Jizhong Military Region.

at this time.

Taiyuan area.

Outside the Japanese defense line, south of the city.

Not long ago, under the constant appeal of Kazuo Iwamatsu, a large number of reinforcements were sent to Taiyuan City, and the joint reinforcement force formed temporarily was attacked by the main force of the 120th Division at night and was completely defeated.

Originally leading the troops, Harada, the head of the Devil Division, who thought he was strong and would be invincible, was completely stunned, and his old face was even more embarrassing.

A large number of Japanese reporters are still following and reporting on this battle!
Before the battle started, how invincible the old devil Harada was.

After the battle started, he was so disgraced and humiliated himself.

At this time, the crisis in Taiyuan City was not over yet, and Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army, was still waiting for him. Harada led reinforcements to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army outside the city and relieve the crisis in Taiyuan City.

Harada had no choice but to grit his teeth, and spent nearly two more days gathering and reorganizing his troops before launching a tentative attack.

Because at this time, the entire territory of Shanxi was under the surprise attack of various infiltration troops of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army basically had no large airports.

In addition, the main air firepower reinforcements are placed in the main battlefield of the Iron Triangle Base and the Huangyadong area.

Harada basically couldn't apply for any air reinforcements.

Without large-scale air support, in the next two or three days, the offensive launched by the old devil Harada is like a formal punch-card attack.

Hit a dozen today, and knock tomorrow.

In many cases, there is loud thunder and little rain.

When it was time to attack, seeing that the Eighth Route Army was waiting in full battle, and the fortifications built were extremely strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack, the little devils immediately covered their flags and drummed up again.

Yoshio Iwamatsu in the city of Taiyuan, who was so noisy, was excited again and again in vain with full of expectations, but in the end he was disappointed.

Northwest Military Command.

Under the punching attack of the Japanese army, the teacher quickly figured out the urine nature of the old devil Harada.

"It's just a wine bag and a rice bag!"

Needless to say, just label this old devil directly.

Then, the head teacher directly ordered that the mobile unit of the 120th Division, which was originally besieged outside Taiyuan City, be secretly transferred to the flank of the Japanese Iinuma Shounan Detachment to the north.

In one fell swoop, cut off the reinforcements from the north of Taiyuan City.

Taking advantage of such a great combat advantage, instead of robbing the devil's mechanized troops and supply troops in one fell swoop, in the words of the teacher, "Wouldn't it be a joke for the brother troops!"

Fighting soon broke out to the north

Knowing that the reinforcements coming from the north were also attacked by the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu became even more panicked. The Eighth Route Army is afraid that Wang Batong will eat the weight, and he is determined to attack Taiyuan City!

Naturally, he didn't dare to delay, and quickly appealed to all parties for reinforcements again.

The old devil Harada experienced a disastrous defeat, and his original pride has long since disappeared. He is more like a frightened bird. Hearing that the troops guarding Iinuma in the north were also raided, he dared not attack aggressively.

Under the order of the old devil, the Japanese army, for the first time, began to build field fortifications outside the Nanguan position in Taiyuan City, and confronted the Eighth Route Army, waiting for reinforcements from the mobile division from Yuncheng.

The commanders of the 120th Division almost lost their temper when they saw this situation.

The reinforcements are building fortifications in front of the blocking troops, it's been a damn long time.

"Those who don't know think that our Eighth Route Army is attacking, and they are in a hurry to reinforce, but the little devil is defending!"

It is obvious that in the city, Yoshio Iwamatsu, who is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wants to wait until such reinforcements break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line and relieve the crisis in Taiyuan.

And in the past few days when Yoshio Iwamatsu desperately moved the rescuers.

The 120th Division has already begun the finishing work of encircling Taiyuan City.

Originally, the soldiers encircled Taiyuan this time, on the one hand, it was to relieve the combat pressure in the Taihang area and the central Hebei area.

On the other hand, it is to take the opportunity to attack the Japanese military facilities around Taiyuan City and seize the war resources.

As for the complete capture of Taiyuan City, the 120th Division has no such plan yet.

What's more, you can't make the little devil completely anxious right now, it will only lose more than the gain.

So the soldiers took advantage of this gap and moved to the next stage of action without hesitation, gradually transferring the seized materials back, and the troops also withdrew from their positions one after another.

Then only a small number of mobile troops were left on the position that could be withdrawn at any time. In addition, many dummies were tied with straw and put on the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, so they set up suspicious formations.

It turned out that the Japanese reinforcements did not dare to attack, and the defenders in the city did not dare to leave the city at will...
