The father of the sword is Kong Jie

... The Eighth Route Army probably did not expect that the so-called main forces that evacuated early were basically second-rate troops such as the Imperial Association Army, traitor troops, and the Security Army Division.

The elite troops of the 13th Division put on the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army and the Public Security Army Division, and took the opportunity to attack when the Eighth Route Army Jizhong troops came to pursue them.

In this way, Balu suffered a "big loss".

After the battle, Bun Taiichiro, who was in the command headquarters, received the news with great ambition that the Eighth Route Army left corpses all over the mountains and plains on the opposite battlefield, and withdrew in embarrassment.

In the next few days, the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to avoid the main force of the Japanese army, and only carried out some sabotage operations on communication lines.

"Yangxi!"

"In this way, the main force of the Eighth Route in Jizhong has been severely damaged by our army, so there is nothing to worry about, and the strategic transfer can be carried out calmly!"

Buntaichiro officially gave the order to retreat.

The old arrogance reappeared on his face, and it seemed that since he entered the Jizhong base area, it was not his 13th division that suffered.

After all, compared with the Niu Dao Man Division in the Huangyadong area, the Sixth Division in the Iron Triangle area, and the 12th Army and the 11th Army in Shanxi and Shandong suffered heavy casualties.

The record of his 13th division this time is dazzling.

Central Hebei Military Command.

Knowing that the elite Japanese army of the 13th Division had finally started to withdraw, Commander Lu was overjoyed. After waiting for so long, finally the time to counterattack came.

Speaking of which, the Japanese army sent the Sixth Division of the North China Front Army this time, the No.13 Division, the Ushidoman Division and the Third Field Division, and the other three divisions are stronger than the 13th Division. Better equipped and bigger.

But only when you have really fought against the old devil of the 13th Division, Buntaichiro, will you realize that this old devil is actually the most difficult to deal with.

This old guy was too cautious, even though Commander Lu set many traps, in the end he only relied on the coarse grain grown outside the Jizhong base area, which made this old devil suffer a little.

But after all, it was unable to cause too much damage to the 13th Division.

In the process of mopping up the Jizhong base area, Wen Taiichiro, an old devil, has been fighting steadily, regardless of the battle situation in the Taihang base area, Huangyadong area, and Mengxi area. When he was hit hard, this guy didn't have any distractions.

They would neither go deep alone rashly, nor would they retreat in embarrassment upon hearing any movement.

Facing such an old guy who doesn't care about oil and salt, Commander Lu actually has a bit of a headache.

Especially in the past two years, from the point of view of the combat method mainly based on tunnel warfare launched in Jizhong, it pays attention to attack while defending.

If the devils don't take the initiative to attack, the tunnel fortifications and traps prepared in advance will be useless at all.

If the 13th Division did not choose to evacuate, and continued to garrison on the inherent fortifications to fight steadily, even Commander Lu could not think of a good countermeasure.

Until now, Bun Taiichiro decided to lead the army to withdraw, and the opportunity for the Jizhong troops finally came.

It turned out that the communication lines in the rear where the 13th Division evacuated, as well as the transportation lines, had already been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army troops in Jizhong by using the extended tunnels.

If the little devils of the 13th Division want to retreat from the outer line of the Jizhong base to the stable security area, they must pass through these uncontrollable areas that have destroyed the communication line.

And here is the cemetery that Commander Lu built for the little devil.

Buntaichiro probably never dreamed that he would stay in the middle line area of ​​the Jizhong base area for a few more days at the request of Commander-in-Chief Okamura. He was originally waiting for reinforcements from the Shandong and Shanxi battlefields.

As a result, less than [-]% of the reinforcements came, and most of them were stopped by the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army. Some of them suffered heavy casualties during the reinforcements and were forced to withdraw to the occupied areas, acting like turtles.

On the contrary, it was the mobile units of the Eighth Route Army, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese field troops had shrunk back to the public security areas and urban areas, and secretly moved in the direction of the Jizhong Military Region.

What are you doing?
Cooperating with the troops of Commander Lu of the Jizhong Military Region, they formed a two-sided attack against the retreating Japanese 13th Division, mainly the little devils.

Almost at the same time, the Eighth Route Army troops in southern Hebei, central Hebei, and northern Hebei launched a counterattack at the same time.

Most of the entire Hebei Province was caught in the melee.

The Eighth Route Army across Shandong also began to counterattack, and Mengxi also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Facing the large-scale counter-offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army, pressure from all sides was overwhelming.

The evacuation of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army from the Jizhong Military Region suddenly became less conspicuous.

The various units of the Japanese army were too busy to take care of themselves, so what else could they do to help cover the evacuated team of the 13th Division.

The decisive battle between the two sides officially kicked off.

The heads of the various regiments of the Jizhong Military Region, who had been suffocated for a long time, led their troops to actively participate in the battle, and launched a layer-by-layer blockade along the devil's evacuation route. The entire base area was completely turned into a quagmire, making it difficult for the little devil to move forward. quagmire.

Lu Dayou, head of the 28th regiment, finally got his wish.

Since the 28th Regiment has developed the most rapidly in the past two years, there are all kinds of mechanized combat units and artillery units in the regiment. This time, it is doing my part, as the vanguard mobile unit in pursuit of the 13th Division.

All the way was chasing after each other, and launched a wave of fierce confrontation with the 13th Division rear guard.

At this time, with the withdrawal, the absolutely powerful fortifications originally occupied by the 13th Division no longer existed.

In this field combat environment, the Eighth Route Army's familiarity with the surrounding terrain and terrain, as well as its proficiency in mobile warfare, ambush warfare, and guerrilla warfare, gave full play to its advantages.

The Japanese army encountered great resistance, and the pace of withdrawal was greatly slowed down.

Lieutenant General Wen Taiyilang finally realized that he was too careless before, and the main force of the Jizhong Military Region did not seem to be destroyed by his tricks.

Right now, these damn Eight Routes are really showing their trump cards.

According to the original plan of the Japanese army, it would not take three days for the 13th Division, as well as the Imperial Association Army and the Security Army Division, to withdraw from the Jizhong base and return to the stable security area.

As a result, under the continuous blocking of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and the local army along the way, the Japanese army walked for nearly a week before barely breaking away from the center line defense zone of the Jizhong Military Region.

The tunnel warfare offensives launched by the Eighth Route Army troops in central Jizhong made the little devils dizzy.

The vast ocean-like People's War made it impossible for the retreating Japanese troops to deal with it.

Almost every evacuation route is covered with traps of the Eighth Route Army.

Landmines, ambushes, sneak attacks, and harassment are simply tiresome.

At this time, Buntaichiro, who was sitting in the temporary headquarters, still had the previous pride. He was a little ashamed. Even his headquarters, in the past few days, was almost attacked by the enemy's artillery several times. .

He ordered to speed up the pace of the whole army and quickly withdraw from the base of the Eighth Route Army.

However, it was learned two days later that the main retreat routes of the division's main force were all cut off by the Eighth Route Army, and a large number of Eighth Route Army reinforcements surrounded him from the back of the 13th Division.

Buntaichiro was completely dumbfounded, and then scolded Okamura.

The rainy season has already arrived.

It has been raining continuously for the past few days, and the originally solid road surface has gradually become soft and muddy under the washing of the heavy rain.

If it weren't for an order from Okamura, the steady Bun Taiichiro would have led the main force of the 13th Division to withdraw from the Jizhong base in an orderly formation.

It is because of the delay of these few days that the rain is falling more and more, and the road surface is getting worse and worse.

As a result, the reinforcements did not arrive. Instead, the rear of the Japanese army was cut off by the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army.

"The hemp rope is only broken at the fine point, and bad luck is only for the poor!"

This sentence can be described as appropriate for Buntaichiro.

The reinforcements did not arrive, but they were surrounded by reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army.

During the continuous rainy season, the mountain roads were so muddy that mechanized combat vehicles could not be launched at all.

Even the tracks of tanks and armored vehicles like a torrent of steel can only sink into the big mud pit that can't touch the bottom. They are constantly overhauled along the way, stop and go, stop and go.

The ghosts of the pursuing Eighth Route Army lingered.

The continuous heavy rain seemed to cover up their attacks, and the sneak attacks became more sudden every time.

At the time of the initial evacuation, the elite troops of the 13th Division were still able to barely maintain their defensive formation, including the Imperial Association Army that was withdrawing in coordination, as well as the Divisional Forces of the Security Army, which also barely maintained communication and contact with each other.

Over time.

Like the Royal Association Army and the two security army divisions composed mostly of recruits, the lack of good and good staff soon became a flaw.

The team that had originally withdrawn in an orderly manner gradually collapsed under the interference of the Eighth Route Army's occasional raids and continuous rain.

When the team gradually dispersed, the pace of retreat was no longer consistent.

The Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to divide the enemy one by one, outflank and annihilate them.

This is a skillful skill of the soldiers.

So far, during the May 13st sweep of unprecedented scale, the Japanese army has persisted until the end, sacrificing the casualties of the [-]th Field Division of the Japanese army, which was the smallest at the beginning, and began to spread rapidly, and the defeat is a certainty.

……

……

But it is said that the two sides are on the battlefield.

On the one hand, the Japanese army set off in the occupied area, and the confrontation between the North China Front Army and the Eighth Route Army.

On the other hand, in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region, Doolittle and his party bombed Tokyo as the fuse, which triggered a large-scale battle between the National Revolutionary Army and the Japanese army.

On the North China battlefield, the confrontation between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army has gradually come to an end.

From the disastrous defeats of the Japanese tank troops in the Mengxi area.

To the retreat of the Japanese Sixth Field Division in the Iron Triangle base.

Then the rampant and arrogant Niu Dao Manshi Regiment in the Huangyadong area was almost wiped out.

The third field division active in the Shandong area did not make an inch of merit after all.

The Japanese Shanxi First Army and the Shandong 12th Army also fell into a bitter battle.

In the end, the retreat of the 13th Field Division, which was sweeping towards the Jizhong base area.

Although the newspapers of the Japanese army covered up the battle in North China in an attempt to find the last fig leaf and restore morale and military prestige.

But in the eyes of discerning people, it is just trying to cover up.

The defeat of the North China Front Army has already been finalized.

The news came from the headquarters of the 13th Division that the original plan to encircle and sweep the Jizhong Military Region and eradicate the Eighth Route Army depot in one fell swoop was declared bankrupt.

The staggering old devil Okamura sat down on his armchair, looking at the pistol that he pulled out from his waist and put it on the table at some point, silent for a long time, wondering what he was thinking...

……

Compared with the tragic large-scale confrontation between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army in North China, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle that should have attracted much attention was not so eye-catching.

No. 14 after the Japanese army launched the May [-]st sweep in North China.

The Japanese army sent additional troops from the 14th Army, 11th Army, and North China, totaling more than [-] troops, and attacked from the Fenghua and Yuhang areas.

On the 24th, the Japanese army arrived in Wuyi, Jinhua, Xiaoshun, Lanxi, Jiande and other areas.

As the defenders in the Jin and Lan areas retreated one after another, and there was no attempt to resist, the Japanese military headquarters immediately issued an order to continue their fierce pursuit of Quzhou, forcing the national army to fight decisively.

At the beginning of June, according to the original combat plan of the National Revolutionary Army’s Third War Zone Commander’s Department, the Japanese army was gradually lured to the Quzhou area, and with the help of layers of defense lines outside Quzhou, they launched layers of resistance until the Japanese army’s vigor was exhausted and casualties spread. At this time, a decisive battle was finally launched in the Quzhou area and the Japanese army was defeated in one fell swoop.

In order to achieve this purpose.

Many patriotic officers and soldiers in the national army fought to the death and vowed not to retreat.

Major General Zhang Lingzong, who once met Kong Jie and Li Yunlong in the Yan'an area, and had a conversation with him, led the 58th Division to fight the Japanese army on the outskirts of Quzhou for 3 full days.

The fierce battle between the two sides was fierce, and blood flowed like rivers for a while, and the Japanese army paid a heavy price for it.

However, four days.

Just when Zhang Lingzong made up his mind to lead all officers and soldiers to fight the Japanese army to the death in the Quzhou area and defend Quzhou to the death.

The Commander's Department of the Third War Zone suddenly sent a death order:
All combat troops retreated immediately, temporarily avoiding the Japanese army's edge, and avoiding the decisive battle in Quzhou!
When the order came, Zhang Lingzong, who was sitting in the temporary frontline headquarters, was completely dumbfounded.

Nai He had no room to protest at all.

Even if Zhang Lingzong does not withdraw, he can lead the 58th division to stand firm, but the rest of the combat troops have all chosen to withdraw, leaving him alone can only fight alone and kill himself.

The helpless Zhang Lingzong could only give the order to retreat amidst the roar.

In a trance, Zhang Lingzong seemed to hear Kong Jie's words that day again: "I'm afraid that my success will fail!"

This made Zhang Lingzong couldn't help feeling: Kong Jie really has a seven-aperture exquisite heart, has he even anticipated the situation in front of him?

What a horrible guy!

... It is precisely because the high-level national army is capricious and changes from day to day.

Throughout the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle, although the National Revolutionary Army invested nearly 30 large-scale troops, it lacked a unified command after all. As a result, the command was chaotic and the hearts of the people were not in harmony, which eventually led to major defeats.

The Japanese army took advantage of the victory and pursued, and hardly encountered any resistance in the battle to completely capture Quzhou.

After taking Quzhou, the Japanese army did not shrink its forces as the high-level national army judged, but took advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to expand the results of the battle, causing incalculable losses to the vast number of soldiers and civilians in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region.

So far, the Japanese army completely destroyed the Quzhou airport, completely eliminating the possibility of Britain, the United States and other countries using various airports in Quzhou as a springboard to attack the Japanese mainland.

At the same time, the smooth operation of the Japanese army basically reached the goal of "confiscating and destroying railway facilities and equipment, as well as other military, political, and economic facilities and materials for cultivating combat power", looting materials, and abducting young and middle-aged people, etc. The purpose of "supporting war with war".

from this angle.

In the battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the Japanese army can be said to have won the final victory.

Compared with the disastrous defeat of the Japanese army's May [-]st raid on the North China battlefield, it ended.

The Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle seemed to allow the Japanese army to barely regain a round...
